Rysheed (or his minions) started a Go Fund Me account, presumably to pay for his impending legal bills:
goal is 75k, 0 donations thus far... I find it as amusing as i do disgusting
It's horribly sad, is what it is. Kid is so messed up and it doesn't seem as though there's a bottom in site. I wonder if there's a substance abuse problem also? It certainly wouldn't surprise me. As least that might explain some of the seemingly irrational behavior with the robbery and the chase. And maybe, just maybe, if he deals with that then he can get his life back on track before it's to late.
It is so sad but not overly surprising when you think about it. His entire life he was surrounded by people whom I imagine told him he would make millions playing ball. When he dropped out of school in spring 2015 he probably still believed the same. After getting cut from the DLeague a terrible reality must have started to sink in. Was working at Burger King ever an option for him ?
Tragic the society we live in.
When Rysheed dropped out of school, he was too late to enter the NBA draft
He had to know that he couldn't make millions, at least not in the short term
He wouldn't have made millions in the D League nor in Europe
He made a big mistake when he decided not to come back to St John's
This is a kid who had no interest in going to school
St John's was to be an apprenticeship for him to prepare to play pro ball
Too bad - what a waste of talent
