Every young kid who makes bad mistakes in the NBA gets a second chance. Most at least attempt to come off as sincere when they get a chance to announce a new path. David Harrison is exceptional in this regard, which is to say he is the exception.Talking to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the big dude, who last year got suspended for his third weed violation in four years and then told the media he thinks the NBA should stop giving drug tests, offered this "promise" to Wolves fans.
At age 26, he intends to display a newfound maturity in what he calls perhaps a last chance to "resurrect" his professional life. Oh, and he wants to demonstrate one other thing, too.If a friend gets fired for being lazy, hotheaded and a pothead, and your friend tells his next employer that he wants to demonstrate "that I'm not a pothead, I guess" ... how much stock do you put in his assertion? Little? None? Yeah, none sounds right.
"That I'm not a pothead, I guess," he said.
This isn't to disrespect Harrison; the cat is actually passable when he can stay out of the doghouse. That's what has made his notoriously bad work ethic and completely coincidental weed usage frustrating.
