    Whacked.

    I wish I had some of the opportunities he's had in life. What a waste.

    I know! Is that serious? If someone broke into my house, started beating me up, then I removed his mask and saw it was Snyder I would probably have to start laughing! Either that or try and pinch myself awake from the crazy dream.

    Man, I won't lie. I read the thread title and was disappointed, but cracked up after reading the first sentence.

    And to think he was the starting SG before that finger injury led to the downfall of his career ...

    ha, this is so random. He looks sadistic in his mugshot.

    ...and here's a video of him doing the only thing he will ever be remembered for (dunking over Wafer).

    What happened to him? He was playing fine in Minnesota.

    He has always seemed to have anger issues on the court. Those character issues do not usually go away with more money, instead they tend to get worse. They issues tend to resurface sooner or later.

    That's what I thought it would be - that he was under some type of influence, but who knows.

    Whenever I hear drugs may be a cause, I always think an undiagnosed mental condition could be the real cause. Put him on the right kind of drugs and he could turn his life around.

    Under Van Gundy he took a few weeks(?) off for personal reasons. Wasn't the rumor he got into some kind of dispute with JVG? Morey did mention dealing with a former Rockets who was a headcase that he wouldn't name a few weeks or months ago.

    He has a hot wife...
