Basketball Player

The Resume

    (December 14, 1967- )
    Born in New Orleans, Louisiana
    Attended the University of Washington (1986-90)
    Reached the NBA as an undrafted free agent in 1995
    Played for various teams in the North American minor leagues and overseas prior to 1995
    Guard for the Denver Nuggets (1995), Houston Rockets (1995-96), Atlanta Hawks (1996-98), Charlotte Hornets (1999-2001) and the Los Angeles Clippers (2001-02)
    CBA Most Valuable Player (1995)

Why he might be annoying:

    He named his son after himself.
    He played for five different NBA teams, but if you were to combine those with his stints in both the North American leagues and overseas, the total adds up to 10.
    He willingly got into a vehicle with a drunk Derrick Coleman, a decision that nearly cost him his life (October 1999).
    He harbored animosity towards Coleman following the accident for not checking in with him during his stay in hospital.
    Months later, he earned notoriety when he assaulted an airline clerk in a fit of rage over not being able to get on an emergency flight to see his sister.
    He was charged with fourth degree assault as a result of his actions.
    He was unable to replicate the same degree of success he had prior to his accident.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He excelled at basketball, despite getting into the sport at the age of 10.
    He earned All-Pac 10 honors three times at the University of Washington.
    His performance during the 1994-95 CBA season was solid enough to earn him a contract with the Nuggets for the remainder of the NBA season.
    He was considered to be one of the NBA's best free throw shooters during his first few seasons in the league.
    He sustained a fractured right shoulder and a partially collapsed lung as part of the injuries he sustained in the accident, but was able to come back and play the Hornets remaining seven games of the 1999-2000 season.
