Sorry you thought that Jarvis Crittendon ,Arenas, Felton ,etc...were 'role models' since the NBA made them wear Oxford shirts .
Sure you & your parents were also disappointed that the immacutely dressed OJ Simpson tracked the bloood of 2 victims all over his expensive Bruno Magli shoes.
So insecure, and trying to project it onto others.

Now you're just making assumptions about people. I don't really care about all of this, but you have been blabbing about the same stuff for this whole thread. We get your point. You can relax now.

Baseball & Hockey ' good old boys' can have all out brawls that are amusing & part of the game.
NBA players can't leave the bench area because you know(' thugs'), so the paternalism begins.
Difference: baseball brawls usually happen out by the pitchers' mound, far away from any fans. You never see fans jumping onto the field (same deal with football)
hockey brawls are in a rink surrounded by 15 feet tall glass...
basketball fights are much easier to get fans involved since nothing is separating them from the court, (see that Nuggets/Knicks fight in 2006) hence why the suspensions are so much more harsh. more possible liability there

Google NHL Hockey player/ fan fights on YouTube.
15 foot flimsy glass or not there some classic brawls WITH fans. Good stuff.

Most young NBA players today must be better as well since they signed larger NBA contracts than Larry Bird ,Magic ,Kareem ,Jordan ,etc.......?

More liability for fans getting injured like when Lebron gives a young fan a concussion courtside?
NBA players have been barreling head first into fans every night for decades & shall continue & I see no NBA concerns with ' liability' sitting courtside paying foolish $$$$ for those seats.
The NBA had ' thug' image issue & not a fan liability one

Does he have a foundation to mentor youth? Does he try to improve the lot of his neighborhood? Or is he just engrossed in his own persona.

The average NBA player today is way better than the average NBA player 30 years ago.

Odd how one sentence from many is picked up.
My point being those face , neck , arm ,etc... tattoos worn by today's NBA ' metro Sexuals' are far more a detriment in business than the clothes of Pre dress code players.

Fair enough. But to act as if he's some kind of "role model" is BS.
Eta; he started a brawl last year in St. Louis.
But he doesn't dress like a ' thug' ( although he is wearing a hoodie in the OP photo link).
Only if Cecil Collins had been made to dress like a metro sexual or wear Oxford shirts at LSU he could have been a great role model for Black youth.
Lived up to his potential.

That isn't true at all.
The guy with tattoos everywhere will still get the interview if he is wearing a business suit. The guy who walks in the room with a dew rag, Starter jacket, and pants at his knees is getting escorted out by police.
You've made some fair points, but you've gone off the rails here.
