Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2428019, member: 488"] I don't think that's it. This seemed to start well before his career ended - not only did he regress massively but he also seemed to be one of the more disliked guys in the league, at least from an organizational standpoint. I don't remember the specifics, but I'm pretty sure the Hornets had so much contempt for him that they tried to make his life as difficult as possible even after they released him. Maybe that's just how he always was, but his pattern of behavior over the last few years seems consistent with somebody who needs help and isn't sure how to ask for it. I'm not trying to psycho-analyze him as I obviously have a very limited view of the situation, but whereas with most guys something like this - a traffic violation - isn't a big deal, I get nervous when I hear Ben's name in the news, regardless of the severity of the offense.
