I agree to a point. The guy did go out and try to get the last word on Woodson when Woodson spoke to him about shot selection. Woodson is his biggest supporter and I think that was one of the days Begley wrote at least three fire woodson articles. JR goes out and doesn't shoot despite having open shots and the team loses. You can't do that in the real world. He was spoken to by Rod Thorn, the GM, the Coach and then went out and did the same thing. After being benched he clowned the same behavior on twitter that got him benched and fined. Not sure what the moral code is for guys getting paid 18 million but I am pretty sure JR is breaking it and his performance isn't anywhere close to a level where you ignore it because he brings so much to the team. I get a young guy partying and making mistakes. I don't get the lack of remorse and need to have the last word at the expense of your coach and team in a game, clown about it on social media and the general misunderstanding of the magnitude of your behavior. Woodson was on the chopping block and this fool decides he isn't going to shoot because Woodson asked him to take better shots? Most if not all have had youthful indiscretions. However, when you mess up and get called on it most individuals have a sense of remorse and minimally try to be more discrete. JR's reaction indicates a major character flaw. The fact that this is a pattern throughout his life is creates a lot more concern. This isn't guys over reacting to a guy just being young and messing up. This is a guy that messed up, was confronted and told not to do it, deliberately did it again, got serious consequences for it and clowned about it after getting the consequences. In my opinion if you are doing that there is a disconnect and a flawed character.
Great write-up, Crush. Couldn't have said it any better. Not only does he commit all these questionable acts, he then always takes it further by not being remorseful, clowning about the situation on twitter, etc. That's it in a nutshell...So immature, disrespectful and downright disturbing.
My wife read the Wojo article yesterday on Yahoo and asked me about what he went to jail for. I told her about the 2007 car accident where he was driving recklessly (yet again) and his best friend was ejected from the vehicle and killed. I believe he served a reduced sentence about 2 yrs later in '09 (60 days, 30 days? Whatever it was..). This punk's damn lucky he didn't get convicted of a more serious crime regarding this incident. You would think that something like this would change a person for the better. Can you imagine if something even remotely close ever happened to you? I don't even think I could speak anymore, let alone keep acting like a fool and continue on my ignorant, immature, disruptive way. This guy's got major problems...I want him gone. We don't need him.
