Eddie Griffin: how to truncate the career of a promise.

The NBA is never a lack of scandals that dot. And that its representatives make every effort to try to keep this from happening. We will discuss the history of a player with great projection but his career was cut short drastically the 13th of March 2007.

Eddie Griffin was born in 1982 in Philadelphia. From the beginning it was a very great basketball player. In the High School some compared him with Wilt Chamberlain (eye). Not compared directly, but dropped it was the best player after he had left Philadelphia.

However, his first altercation not happen soon and was expelled from school due to a fight, and many others in which he could have participated.

He had problems with drugs, while at the University continued to play at a good level (17.8 points and 10.8 rebounds). Was submitted to the NBA draft the year Pau Gasol and was chosen the number 7 by the New Jersey Nets, who will pass to the Houston Rockets, where he caught on two good seasons, just before taking to alcohol and drugs. He had lost an entire season in rehab, which led the Houston Rockets to dismiss.

But Eddie Griffin anomalous career was just beginning. If alcohol and drugs was bad, worse was to spend 11 days in jail. Your partner for assault and alleged he violated court orders that led him to the slammer over this period.

Eddie Griffin had to leave New Jersey Nets and landed in Minnesota, Timberwolves for the 2004-2005 season. He did wrong, 7.5 points and 6.3 rebounds, and the Wolves was renewed for another season. But again, scandals came across him.

This news Daimiel Antoni had to give her a time out at 5 in the morning because he said "or we are now, or we can not give it in no time.

Eddie Griffin had a car accident and immediately went into a store owner telling the vehicle that was struck was drunk and begging him not to call the police, that would pay a new vehicle. He had no driver's license.

What happened in the accident? What happened was this. Eddie Griffin was driving while watching a movie on the DVD of his car. What is more, the film was a porno tape, and good old Eddie Griffin was masturbating while driving. I wonder if in such a face I thought I would reach their destination without accident.

Two years later, Eddie Griffin died in another accident in Houston. No warning signs indicating a level crossing and his car was hit by a train at that time crossed the road. BAC exceeded at autopsy.
