Re: Lloyd Daniels
Do we need to celebrate yet another of these type of players:
From Publishers Weekly
Despite impressive raw talent as a basketball player, Lloyd (Swee'pea) Daniels hasn't made it to the NBA... Daniels, who did not finish high school and can barely read, attended the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, where he was arrested in a drug raid. He also put in a stint with the Continental Basketball Association's Topeka Sizzlers and, most dramatically, nearly died after he was shot in a $10 drug deal. Coaches and colleagues tried to discipline him, yet Daniels emerges as a man whose skill is exceeded by his laziness and arrogance, a player who cuts practice, "blaming poor performance on injuries or on teammates, but never on himself." This career could never end with a bang--only a self-centered whine.
