Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2352821, member: 488"] It must suck to be on your way to the NBA and then tear your ACL a second time, only to read from people a couple years later when you're struggling to recover that are "struck" by you being soft and noncompetitive. I consider myself a pretty competitive person and I could absolutely see how tearing my ACL would induce some level of apathy in everything I do, especially when I'm playing guys that are older and more physically mature than me. And he tore it twice. Now, I think his decision to transfer was a terrible move, and there might be some truth to the rumblings that he wasn't exactly a model of maturity during his one year in Storrs, but all of this revisionist stuff about how he was a soft player strikes me as nonsense. He barely played and when he did, his leash was incredibly short. [/QUOTE]
