NCAA gamewinner's 2008 goes from bad to worse
I liked this story:
Mario Chalmers hit the clutch three in the title game that led to Kansas winning the national title earlier this year, and now he's in the NBA:
The players [Chalmers and a former Kansas teammate now also in the NBA] were caught by hotel security at the Doral Arrowwood resort in Rye Brook, N.Y., where 69 of the league's rookies arrived last night for the four-day seminar in which coaches, referees and former players speak about adapting to the league. Having visitors at the rookie transition program is not permitted.
So a quick recap of how life is going this year for Mario:
1) hit college championship winning jumper
2) enter NBA
3) begin earning major coin
4) immediately 'adjust' to NBA life by commencing hedonistic lifestyle of women and drugs, presumably with playing basketball for a living thrown in.
An annus horribilis, it's probably not.
