    He's always had the talent. My guess is that he's probably still a loser at heart, but hopefully for everyones sake he's matured.

    You know, so was Warren Moon but he was and still is one of the Most Decorated Players in Houston. Wonder why that is?

    Here's a news flas for you....EVERYBODY have done things they shouldn't but they did it. I shouldn't have ran a Redlight or gotten drunk or stole something or lied about something but I did. I'm sure you have done something in your life too. Haven't you? If NOT, you are the only perfect person in the world.

    Does he still dribble the ball of his own knee every 3 or 4 possessions?

    Milwaukee fans are asking their organization to sign him to a long term extension, so does that answer your question?

    Not even KPJ Jr can save the Bucks.

    No. That answers the Mil fans question of "how do we make him feel wanted so he won't throw soup?"

    Ridiculous take. These are professional athletes at the end of the day. No, its not about holding them up as perfect role models as you say - but it IS about ensuring that the team we put our money, time and energy into is willing to stand up and put forward consequences for despicable behaviour. Anything short, and I would consider the team to be somewhat complicit in normalising what is essentially violent crime. If the average joe office worker was charged for domestic violence, they would likely lose their job too.

    I'm happy the rockets got rid of him, and disappointed that other NBA franchises were willing to pick him up.

    So did you beat your woman? I know it haven't beaten the sht out of mine nor have any inclination to do such a thing. Run a red light with no oncoming traffic? Sure. Lied? Alot, thats human nature. Gotten drunk? Plenty, but never behind the wheels.

    Can't believe you actually associate those minor things to beating a woman.

    To your point, I've done many things I am not proud of. But I've never put my hands on a woman. Have you?

    Just because they are PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES, doesn't make them any better or worse than an AVERAGE JOE.

    Our head coach cheated on his wife! If you ask Nia Long if it hurt any less, than if he would have hit her, she would probably say no! Different circumstances but same feeling.

    Which brings me back to my point. If other athletes and people get 2nd or 3rd chances.....WHY CAN'T KPJ?

    So you think you're better than him, just because you did SOMETHING but not what he did? Lol

    That's just like saying, I do crack but I don't do cocaine. Wrong is wrong and right is right.

    If you admit to lying and getting drunk, you've done more!

    All Im saying is, I try not to judge others because we've all done something. The jailhouse and courtrooms are full of people who say they haven't done anything

    Lillard is back next game, so KPJ can go back to being the 6th man, they really need Lillard to have a chance.
