    At least he isn't bound by substance abuse. I don't have any problem with him being occupied and staying out of worse things. Considering where Tarpley has been, he's doing just fine.

    When did he go down there? I think I remember him in the CBA wback when I used to watch David Wesley on the Texans. Like 91 or 92 wasn't it? Does he actually get on the court? That's a really long time to play basketball.

    Tarpley is one of the most wasted talents in basketball due to drug.
