Yes, I saw this news today while watching highlights of the Portland Trail Blazers game against Minnesota Timberwolves. What can I say? Scary Terry ruined his career, as did Chauncey Billups, undoubtedly a very talented coach and legendary Detroit Pistons player. It's a shame.

Saw this also in the news. Makes one wonder why someone who receives millions of dollars a year already in salaries still gets involved in such dishonest illegal stuffs. Mind boggling.

But what do people with money want?

Whats crazy is how much they put at risk just to make $50k in some cases, especially when some of them make 20 mil a year.
