Mase was a very good player but a true punk and one of the biggest a##holes to ever play in the league. Getting LJ for him was great value. Riley coiuldn't stand looking at him any longer and would have surley accepted simply waiving him.

In Charlotte he pissed off Dave Cowens so badly that Cowens threw him up against the lockers and challenged him to fight but of course Mase backded down because Cowens, though 20 years older, was after all his own size.
