John Lucas and his cocaine habit cost the Rockets a shot at a ring, while he has turned his life around for some, he is not exactly a patron saint of wellness. The NBA will probably give him 5 or so games, just to do "Something" and KPJ will continue his NBA journey.... None of us know what happened......but lots of people willing to judge without facts, meanwhile some will vote for a pedophile in Trump.....just bizarre. DD
Making excuses for KPJ? John has helped a lot of NBA players. He got himself cleaned up and has become a mentor to many so not sure why you have to take a shot at him.
While I hear with Lucas as a player here, please remember Lewis Lloyd and Mitchell Wiggins got suspended too for cocaine abuse. It wasn’t just because Lucas was gone that the ( that version) team fell apart. Additionally, the Rockets organization was horrible at drafting players in the 80s. They hit on Dream i& Jim Petersen but blew damn near every other draft choice of decade. They were a bad organization. So bad that they damn near blew it with Dream. But being 100% honest, KPJ is a knucklehead of the highest order and any what aboutism you come up doesn’t excuse his punk behavior. He was more physically aggressive with his elders on the coaching staff than he was with his opponents on the court. The Rockets got there asses handed to them on a nightly basis, and I never saw KPJ get overly physical with anyone his own size and age. That makes him a punk in my book. Good luck Clippers, letting Paul George walk and signing KPJ is laughable.
It says a lot about case KPJ when he has to resort to examples from the 80s. More than 40 years ago. KPJ is a dangerous individual even without drugs and alcohol in play.
Losing those guys was an absolute killer. So disappointing to a young (me) teen that loved the team so much. I had color photos from the Post and Chronicle completely covering all 4 walls of my room. I wish we could have seen how the team would have played full strength against Boston.
Calling a trump a pedophile that’s never even been investigated much less proven while defending KPj who was investigated and was convicted (misdemeanor) is hypocritical. It is logical to talk about KPJ in a basketball forum, but taking shots at a politician not so much.
Just some facts for you, Trump is a pedophile. Was sued 2 times for being one - admitted to walking into 14 and 15 year old girls dressing rooms.... Dude is a pedophile, and a convicted felon and a conman, and a convicted fraudster....you don't like it....I don't care, the facts are the facts.....try finding someone with integrity to support otherwise PISS OFF !

KPJ is too stupid to realise that would be aimed at him. Somewhere, at the sight of the KPJ thread, DD's computer drawer creaks open and a bottle of lotion is pulled out.
You are an insufferable idiot. John Lucas DID what you are giving KPJ credit for. A good friend and mentor of mine is a longtime friend of John's. He witnessed the change in John. John turned his life around from drug abuse and uses the lesson he learned to help others with the same affliction. Your man crush abuses PEOPLE and has shown ZERO remorse or evidence that he has turned his life around. Do yourself a favor and shut up. You sound stupid. It would be a g'damn miracle if that punk KPJ ever overcame adversity and had the impact John Lucas has had on others.
Just a reminder, LAC also signed Joshua Primo and Kai Jones. poor Harden. lulz But, just imagine if all three become solid rotation players in a successful season, and credit Harden the most for helping them. Maybe that will rehabilitate Harden’s imagine with the media hatas, too
Plus the dumbass convicts Trump with no evidence in his feeble mind and at the same time giving KPJ a pass despite him pleading guilty.
