Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 134092, member: 57"] I will not disagree with all that you said. However, the level of basketball talent that Mookie was given was a gift. It was a gift that he did not maximize through hard work physically and mentally. If Mookie got as much out of himself as an Andy Rautins got out of himself he could have been a star. I have said before and I will say again, that one day Mookie will look back on all of this with regrets. If he had put in the effort early in his career that we have seen just this summer from Fab & Dion there is no telling what he might have accomplished. For years I posted that Mookie deserved more PT and chances. Now, I know I was wrong, every scholarship player has the chance to create his own opportunities. Mookie couldn't be bothered. For that, I cannot respect him. [/QUOTE]
