Very good post. I like TO. You cannot say he was not driven to be his best. Whether he was his best is arguable, but he damn sure balled on the field.
Much like Richie, TO had some issues, but on the playing field he was awesome. I have issues too, but on my field (job) I'm a bad mofo.
I think someone should start an 'All Star Crazys" thread. TO, Richie, OJ, etc...
