Wow, thats sad. having to wear a hoodie everyday, getting suspended for it, etc? Thats tough. I gained a lot of respect for him by reading that.

Very interesting reading. Thanks for posting it.

Wow! I didn't know he was grabbing 10 boards as a rook.. So he can rebound..

wow that's pretty inspiring. we all have our own stories and issues that we have to overcome but its always nice to see someone that has more than overcome his problems and have thrived in spite of them. Thanks for posting.

charlie v in the d...hes going to do great things here.....

When this guy is givien a shot at consistent minutes he gets pretty darn good numbers. Last year, Scott Skiles would never give the guy consistent minutes and was starting guy over him a lot. CV only averaged 26 minutes a game. His stats as a starter were 17 points and 8 boards a game in only 29 minutes. Give this guy a chance with true starter minutes and he could average close to 20 and 10 with some treys and a block. I think we snagged this guy at the perfect time for him to blossom in his career.

wow. how inspiring. that's someone with true character. i admire him for that. that's exactly what this team needs. someone who has the right attitude and tough skin to battle all the adversities he faces. i respect him for that.
