This is a very good article about currently former NBA player Rashad McCants. It talks about his time in the league and the reasons why he is currently out of a job.
Basically he is out of the league because of a "perceived" attitude problem. He has never had any major issues, has never been arrested for anything or suspended, but GM's don't like his facial expressions and the way he presents himself.
Maybe it's just me but that is a bullshit reason for someone to be out of a job considering some other players who currently have jobs in the league. McCants is an extremely talented player and at the worse could be an excellent 6th man for any team. The "perceived" attitude problem is bullshit as many former teammates including Al Jefferson and Kevin Garnett have talked very highly of McCants. Shit, the guy was a former team captain in Minnesota.
McCants does deserve some blame as he needs to realize that sometimes you need to do things just to please other people and you can't be stubborn about changing some minor things. After reading the article it seems like he now realizes that and should hopefully get an opportunity soon. In fact he already is playing on the Cavs summer league roster.
So what are your thoughts on the article, the reasons he is out of the league, and just McCants in general?
