Len Bias - gets drafted with massive expectations, dies from a cocaine overdose within 48 hours. Parents sue his agent for not buying the $1m life insurance they promised; agents argue that no one would insure a habitual cocaine user.

Bison Dele - believed murdered at sea by his brother after disappearing in the South Pacific on his catamaran.

Bison Dele = Brian Williams (- for those who are wondering...)... I remember when his disapperance was first reported, i thought that he was some benchwarmer and then i see his photo - "#### me that's Brian Williams"... very sad dissapearance that we will never ever fully know the details about (since it can be reasonbly assumed that only four people were party to it - all of them confirmed dead/missing at sea) ...

Rider definately. He was up on Kidnapping charges.

Pencil in Steven Jackson onto this list for when he retires. I still can't get over that he fired a gun into the air while being run over outside a strip club. Classic.

Carl Herrera wont be standing up for Vernon's character. Bet he is still nursing the bruise from the free weight Maxwell threw at his head!

Just came across this - a pretty long dissertation into the whole Bison Dele disappearance and events leading to it. Interviews with people who sailed with the party and family friends... Makes the whole thing weirder and wierder...

artest is still playing

Earl Manigault .. (bad word)ed his career before it started
hmm .. and keep and eye on Spre.

#132279 - read the title of the thread. Post means after, and that's not how you spell said.

Tim Hardaway would have to make this list, wouldn't he?

I would consider saying that you hate gay people is a pretty big f**k up.

Latrell Sprewell?

c'mon cans, you're killing me. I mentioned spre already ... "gotta feed my kids"

Oh come on.. Kemp only had a cocaine problem - he wasn't hurting anyone else.

Hmm.. except maybe for the 39 kids in the northwest without a dad around!

Spree is spelt Spree so may have missed it

Vin Baker - still getting 5 mil a year from the Celtics who he has palyed for in 3 years or some rubbish like that

I vote for Cecil Exum. Eventhough he never made the NBA, he never got dunked on by Andrew Gaze either which is just as good as making the NBA !?!?!?!

Since then, he has used profanities and abuse in a public forum which 1000s of people view.

No - it was 2 for 1 day at Krispy Kreme...

It's a ####-up cause he didn't have the prescence of mind to realize what would happen... He's just another in the pantheon of clueless sports stars... Eddie Johnson still out does him "allegedly" - in my opinion he's still the starter at the point... Michael (he of the tastless Jew banter) Ray Richardson might be taking the spot on reflection though...

Anon, you don't have to consider it one, but just look at all the press he got for it. Now, rather than being remembered for the great player he was, he'll always be 'the guy that hates gay people'.

What about Eddie Griffen, cannot think of any player caught driving and tossing at the same time..

tossing???... horseshoes???

(seriously tho - Griffin is active (techncally) so he can't make the team...)...

Vern Maxwell Jailed.

An update on one of our most honored alumni.

The post i made above (the Griffin one) is kind of creepy now.
