Bio came out this week, haven't read it myself. Saw the 30 for 30 on him again last week...still not sure what to make of the guy. I'm probably like the way the author of the book puts it. I want him to be a good guy doing the best he can with a shitty hand dealt to him, but damn...

Dude was fearless, incredible to watch, "the realest," and basically carried a bunch of nobodies and wash-up vets to the Finals. But damn, if only he could have played "the PR game" a little better. I'm not sure if I "respect him" for not "bending the knee" or if I'm pissed that maybe they missed out because he wouldn't play nice.
Having Company Man #5 give his well-scrubbed soundbites around town at the same time didn't help either.
