Why he might be annoying:

    After returning to the NBA from rehab, he was suspended indefinitely for failing to follow through with drug counselling sessions.
    Over the years, he racked up a hundred arrests and a couple of stints in jail for burglary, drug offenses, assault, etc.
    When he was arrested for molesting the eight year old, he was already awaiting trial for breaking into a hotel room and raping another woman.
    He complained, 'The worst thing about this is that because of my charges I'm being treated as a sexual predator.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His high school coach said he was a good student who rarely got into trouble as a youngster.
    Hawks Coach Mike Fratello said, 'Eddie was a great talent, great competitor, very likable person.'
    He is proud of his three children graduating college.
