you come on with such definite beliefs about him......for a 24-year-old guy whose one and only skill is playing basketball

Hmm, you seem to know all his skills. Have you met him, you know what he does other that what you see in the sports clips. I guess you are the one spouting definate beliefs with no basis.

My apologies...Not only skill, just greatest skill. Yes, maybe I do seem to have definite beliefs like everyone else here but then these saturation-level cases can make us all over-react! I'm just tired of him being portrayed as a hero by some. He was drafted into the NBA before his 18th birthday & college and seems to live extravagently but give little back in terms of charity, etc. And I hate to see this young woman automatically trashed. I mean if she hadn't attempted suicide it would be something else they would use against her. It always ends up that way.
