and for the whole son thing, I did not know about that until just now. That is unfortunate. One young man’s life lost, another’s forever altered as well. Nothing good there.

I didn’t mean it in a negative way. I’m glad to see he grew. He was always one of my favorite players in the NBA. My number one memory though is him shoving the ref into the scorer’s table and having to be restrained by Magic (I believe). Not exactly leadership at its finest!

People grow and mature throughout their lives, and I’m sure the same can be said for Van Exel. Early in his career when he played with the Lakers, he may not have been as mature or as much of a leader, but later with Denver that could have changed. As far as his relationship with his son goes, sometimes the people we listen to least are the people closest to us- especially our parents.

Why are people giving the thumbs down to a factual statement?

not going to lie, Van Exel doing this surprised me. He never seemed like much of a leader when he was with the Lakers.

For the record, Herren has said that George McCloud was in fact the one who gave him this speech, and was the leader of the group than included McDyess and Nick,
