Sad to say you are incorrect and there are more people on this board who watch players in trouble with the eyes of "having lived through tragedies" both personal and professional. When I was Training Director at Bronx Psychiatric Center we ran a program to teach recovering substance abusers how to do drug abuse counseling with people in both drug abuse and mental health trouble. If you took the basketball talent that came through that program you would have multiple NBA draft choices, all-state and all-city guards, and wings and power forwards in the 6-6 to 6-8 range. Some of us old guys learned long ago that the conjectured correlation between basketball talent and personal well-being is spurious.
