Orien Greene's second play at the NBA
Great story from TrueHoop's Henry Abbott on Orien Greene, the one-time Celtic and NZ Breaker.
How is a guy like this not in the NBA?
Ask NBA front offices and you'll hear that he's a perfectly good player, but something of a knucklehead; Near the end of that rookie year he was pulled over going close to 100 miles an hour in suburban Boston, for instance. There have been drug test issues.
"I had money and I was young," he says. "You just have to go through some of that." And go through it he has, he says. The difference is now he's older, wiser and, thanks to Heiress, entirely reprioritized.
Telling people that, he realizes, is nothing like showing them. So that's what he's doing.
