Cocaine Is a Helluva Drug


Former Dallas Maverick Roy Tarpley, the man whose drug habit led to him pissing away a promising NBA career, is suing the League and his old team for refusing to reinstate him after he was permanently banned in 1995.

He should get the Birdman on his side and form a class-action lawsuit.

He’s been clean the past FOUR YEARS!!! He’s currently 42 YEARS OLD!! Why would they even fathom reinstating him. I could picture the scene in the Five Heartbeats when Eddie Kane stumbles up to the group and tries to do their old routine and they all look at him with shame and disgust, then Duck gives him a 20 and tells him to take care. “Nights like this I wish… I wish… that raindrops would fall!” Just a shame.

Well, he’s not asking for reinstatement now, he wants $$$$$$$$. Any lawyer here know of any American precedents for this case? With the current wave of public opinion against druggies, tide seems against Tarpley.

Couldn’t the Heat use Tarp to back-up/tutor their youngsters Zo and Shaq about post-play, lifestyle and being a rolemodel?

The Heat could use Tarp as their starting small forward.

The Heat should start Tarp at shooting guard. Dwyane Wade will be a shadow of his former self if he ever recovers from his shoulder injury. Is Wade even alive? He disappeared from earth just like Camron.
