Very well said man. It is hard to think what Eddie Griffin is really going through in his life right now. The NBA has tried to keep his situation right now as low as possible, but for good reasons. Griffin probably does not want the whole world knowing what he is dealing with. I hope the best for this man, because he has a whole life to live yet at 21. There are so many other things he can do, if he decides not to further his career in the NBA. (Go back to college) Maybe he just needs a year or two to get his life back in order. He needs to learn about having successfull relationships, because as I have heard, he is not good with them. He never got along with his teammates, and he was charged with battery (or some legal offense like that) to a girlfriend of his a couple months ago.
He just needs time IMO. Griffin is young enough that 10 years down the road, when Griffin is playing in the NBA, no one will even remember his troubles of today.
