Clearly Lamar Odom isn’t the first NBA player to have an addiction to cocaine. He probably won’t be the last either.

Two seasons ago, the NCAA basketball landscape was in awe of then rising senior Anthony Davis, a wiry thin near 7 footer with an insane combination of offensive and defensive skill that could dominate the college game, and could one day become an NBA superstar.

For years, Luol Deng has been a key cog in what the Bulls are trying to do. He’s a savvy wing player who is solid on both sides of the floor. But after a while, everything gets stale. Perhaps that’s the case with Deng in Chicago. Deng is up for a contract extensions, but it [...]
