[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3252095, member: 9374"] I think we've had good luck in OKC with our players, at the very least while they were here. In fact, not ONE of the players who has even LEFT OKC has been involved in a major scandal, in terms of drugs, alcohol, domestic violence, etc. Not to my knowledge, anyways. KD has been involved in some immature social media crap, but nothing really damning, not even close. I don't know if it is Sam Presti's and the general OKC management's influence helping turn these young players into responsible citizens, or if it is their discernment in avoiding players with potential problems related to 'Thug Life'-style issues. <edit> The only one I can think of is Thabo Sefalosha, who had a run-in with NYC police and ended up injured, but that was after 2 or 3 years in ATL, I think. In general, I think the NBA has a better track record for keeping players out of major trouble than MLB or the NFL - or at least keeping things brushed under the rug? [/QUOTE]
