OT: WOW. Sad day for the Mavs
Posted: Fri Jan 09, 2015 8:24 pmRoy Tarpley died at 50 today. HOF talent but he had too many demons. Those mid to late 80s Mavs made me love basketball.

Roy was a childhood idol for me. Unfortunately he was also the reason I learned what a DWI was.

I know we've got bigger things to worry about today but can anyone change another person's post with their knowledge?

Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2015 4:00 amHe was a 20-20 machine, and that was even when he was high.
It seemed he was always at the top of his game whenever he got busted.
I still think it is just flat out wrong for permanently banning a player for taking
drugs that are not even performance enhancing, unless they think
Cocaine is performance enhancing. Who knows, maybe it was performance enhancing for Roy.
He was a true power forward that could also be used as a stretch 4,
a real basketball freak, especially for those days.
