I've heard that OJ is a very polite young man normally and some say this is an unusual situation for him. He will eventually be a very good player in the NBA and I'll bet sooner than later . . .
If you read the complaint, one of the funniest things in there is that the suspension could possible ruin Mayo's reputation. Ironic, since his actions, particularly filing the lawsuit itself, have far more damage his reputation than meekly serving the suspension ever could.

Maybe he is just a nice guy off the court, but it's clear that most of us here on the board, and I would wager most officials, will never see him as more than a thug.
