    It is a sad day indeed when America jails our heroes.

    What kind of idiot lawyer does he have that he hasn't renegotiated his payments? Dude's been out of the league for 8 years.

    That said, he's pretty much made it known that he has no intentions of taking care of any sense of responsibility in his life. It's really just pathetic at this point.

    But he was once a good basketball player.

    I can't say i feel bad for him or any NBa player who can't keep up with their child support. They made the decision to sleep with the woman, made the decision to keep wasting their money, made the decision not to save some for their kids or invest properly. I know there's always exceptions to this, but in Maxwell's case, i think it's fair to say he was being irresponsible.

    i wonder what the amount is, maybe it was low, that could explain why it wasnt renegotiated, or maybe it was, and Max is broke.

    maxwell never made no 20 million dollars per year, he just wanted a raise after leading choke city to clutch city.

    tmac doesn't deserve his contract, maxwell deserves his extension.
    les needs to pay him pronto, or this would be another jinx to the organization.

    Andre Rison has himself in the same fix as Max -- trying to pay child support that was set when he was in his prime making millions.

    he also made a bad choice in women.

    remember that TLC chick burned his house down after she found him fooling around.

    Ralph has to pay child support too, he's not making any cash either.

    i agree with the hot and cold streaks, but the difference is, you know that Maxwell could score 50 points on any given night, you know Rafer can't.

    I think Max led the league in the 3 point attempts one year.

    I think Rockets should sign Max so that he has some bucks to support the kids.

    Thanks tinman for the understanding. I wish I should get out of rookie status. At least I show some care for ex-Rockets, while lots of so-called members were making fun of Max, who was a Rocket. :cool:

    (Rafer, McGrady, Artest questionable shot selection x 2) + (Rafer, McGrady, Artest volumous attempts from deep) + (Rafer, McGrady inefficiency) + McGrady heat checking =
    Mad Max offense

    Maybe efficiency stats popularity coincided with the 1995 season. They might looked down at the sheet and said holy HECK thats what this guy's REALLY doing? We love him but yeah lets try that Drexler suggestion someone brought up before.

    oh yeah, if he wouldn't have infected that woman with herpes knowingly, maybe he'd have more cash to give to his kid.

    Just think if we had Rafer at point and Max at SG. This forum would crash and burn.

    Why couldnt this case have been tried in Texas? There they might made HER pay HIM for even having the pleasure of being in the Maxwell inner circle of trust. Even being provided a part of HIS lavish lifestyle. STD catching, small price to pay thats all part of it...


    Seriously, not gonna excuse him for stuff, will leave that for other people. But if he's being penalized for bad judgement, did the woman not KNOW what she was getting with MAD MAX? Can't turn a ho into a housewife. But can't turn a thug into a husband either.

    I think the real issue is just the amount. I gotta blame the woman as well for the reason you stated, but once the kid is born, it's a money issue. The only problem is have is with the crazy amounts athletes have to pay. I say if it's proven both parties had something like a one night stand, then the athlete shouldn't have to pay anymore than the mother can. Just go half and half.

    Those suckers are his "children" :( . Do you ever think about Mad Max Jr or Mad Max XV when defending Mad Max Sr.? They're growing up without possible the greatest dad in the world. I feel for the kids.
