Believe it or not,I still think that there's hope for Rasheed Wallace-not to say that he isn't an embarassment now.There's a little force in play here that's called "maturity".Some get it later than others,but unfortunately some never do quite get it.There's a certain little tattooed point guard in Philly that going through it now.Iverson's sure grown up a lot since he first entered the league.I get the biggest kick out of Charles Barkley moaning about the players to-day.He was absolutely ridiculous when he first came into the league,but he changed his rap when he got older.I can think of a bunch of other examples,also.I think Rick Barry is a good example of someone who never got it.He was whiny when he played,and he sure hasn't changed since then.The twin towers down in San Antonio are good examples of players who came into the league with their act together.Both of them were very mature,but both of them also had the four full years of college experience to get that way.I'm either an optimist or an idiot,but I still think that there's hope for Wallace.This is JMO.
Btw,as you can tell from some of my posts,I'm still working on this maturity thingy.I'm fighting it as hard as I can.
