You also stated that he should be respected for his hard work???? I'm not saying he didn't..... and doesn't still work hard, but EVERY "expert" you hear from says he has more talent than just about anyone in the league, yet he underachieves. How is that working hard, how does that earn him respect? I think Rasheed is much more talented than Jermain O'Neal for example, but O'Neal puts up better numbers.....why? It's because he works harder.
Now, I didn't say Jerm doesn't work even harder than Sheed. I'm not claiming Sheed is the hardest working man in the NBA. But I'll bet he works harder than most of those who had the same physical gifts as Sheed but didn't make it in the NBA.

Editing in another thought here: where did all that talent Sheed is supposed to have come from? Was he born with it? Or did he develop it?

Sure, maybe Sheed could be even better. He could also have been a whole lot worse.

I told a story once about my wife being told by Rasheed that he wouldn't give her an autograph because she was a white girl.
Well, there is ample evidence that Sheed has some issues with race as well. I agree that needs to be added to the negative side of the ledger.

Why is it again he should be respected?
Why is it that any man should be respected?
