Juwan Howard caught shoplifting

**onlooker** · 05-11-06, 09:31 PM

Thrill seeking I guess. The only thing I can think why he did it. A millionaire shop lifting, makes a lot of sense.

**ourbet** · 05-11-06, 09:44 PM

So he's already presumed to be guilty, huh?

American justice (who brought the world "Wot? No WMDs??") brings you another fine example of guilty by media.

**The Great One** · 05-11-06, 10:40 PM

How typical. Here is the look of shock on my face.

You can take the homeboy out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the homeboy.

He didn't do it for the thrill. he did it because he's an idiot and yes, he did do it.

**freebie** · 05-11-06, 11:29 PM

maybe robbery and theft is in his blood?

**Seattle Slew** · 05-11-06, 11:53 PM

Well, they were $2,000! At least when Jennifer Capriati went this route, she had an excuse. She was a teenager. What's his deal?

**pags11** · 05-12-06, 10:08 PM

what a sad deal...he doesn't have to stoop to this...

**SBR_John** · 05-13-06, 05:01 AM

My guess is he just blewa heck of a doobie, stumbled out of his Escalade into the sunglass store. The doobie started to kick in hard while he was trying on glasses. He had a wave of paranoia, forgot the sunglasses were new, kiped them unknowingly into his pocket and pointed his paranoid ass for the door!

**pags11** · 05-13-06, 05:27 PM

from the fab five and an NBA contract to this...

**The Great One** · 05-13-06, 05:31 PM

I bet he still lives paycheck to paycheck though.

Well, then why are there a ton of athletes who reosrt to selling championship rings, trophies, and anything else they have once they leave the game.

many file for bankruptcy after they leave the game. Does Rick Williams live paycheck to paycheck? How about Lawrence Taylor?

These guys are morons and have no financial responsibility at all. They'll spend money on having 12 cars, 5 houses, 5 kilos of cocaine, a ton of child support, and a couple divorces, plus their white agent is smarter than them is conning them out of money too, plus they have to pay for their posse, I mean umm friends and their blackmail money to stay out of prison.

You are a complete moron who just doesn't understand how people are. you never will but I can't help it, i always try to help the helpless. I'm a good samaritan like that.

**The Great One** · 05-13-06, 07:20 PM

Not to mention, NBA players have to pay taxes in every state they have a game in. Thats how they are taxed.

**BuddyBear** · 05-13-06, 07:24 PM

sure a handful of these mega millionaires have some poor money management skills....big deal...

Come on dude get real...most have so much money they don't know what to do with it. Howard has been in the league for what 13+ years...throw in endorsements and how much do you think he is worth $200+ million???

Celebirity stealing is not a new phenomenon....it's a psychological thing that has been studied by reserachers...I am sure whatever J.Howard makes a year most of won't make over our lifetimes.

You still think you aren't a racist????

No, what I said is a fact. Do you think there is one NBA player that is smarter than his white agent? Just one. These guys just use these athletes and tell them what to do and when to sign and not to sign. These agents usually went to the best business schools and have a ton of business sense. When the average athlete wouldn't even have a shot at going to college except for the fact he is athletically gifted.

Sure you'll have the racist in the black player who will not hire a white agent simply because he's white like a Vince Young, he'll hire one of his friends to steal his money to keep in the family and in the same professional drug trade..

You're a fool if you think a scrub like Jawaan Howard is worth 200 million currently. Check on Forbes. I'm not going to look it up right now, but they give new worths of athletes and obviously he is far from the top. Tiger Woods has alot more endorsements and such than Howard and he is not even close to that.

Put it this way, when Michael Jordan was looking at NBA ownership, he was going to need help, he didn't have the 250 million to buy the team himself and its fair to say he has had much more success in endorsements and contracts than Howard.

Come on, you really should stop teaching. You have to be hurting your students mentally with all your garbage.

**rm18** · 05-14-06, 02:26 AM

Howard has made over 150 million, so it would be possible with investing, but I doubt he has over 50 million

**The Great One** · 05-14-06, 10:21 AM

Just because he has made over150 million doesn't mean he has 150 million.

Like I said, most of these guys are morons. If he is investing, don't you think someone is helping him and most likely skimming some money for themselves or conning him in some other way.

Just ask yourself, if it wasn't for basketball, how would Jawaan Howard's life turn out? Pretty easy answer. it's 50/50 if he graduates high school in Detroit and either way, he'll be in the family business of drug selling soon enough. He'll make some good money for about 3 years and when he turns 21, he'll serve is birth right prison sentence of about 5 years.

Maybe thats not true, right? Because we all know Howard would have put himself through school and maybe would have gotten an academic scholarship someplace. Think twice before considering this racism because there is an awful lot of truth to everything I say. You just don't agree with it because you don't understand how the world is and even worst; what it is becoming.

**BuddyBear** · 05-14-06, 10:26 AM

sorry everything you are saying in here is loaded with racial stereotypes.....let me guess you are smarter than all these players too??? Come on dude...lay of all the race stuff...you are making a total ass of yourself on here. Juwan Howard could buy you and sell you in a second if he wanted and you would gladly be his little bitch. I just don't understand why you hate black people so much TGO???

How typical. You did it again. Now your next post will tell everyone I'm anti-sematic. Right?

It's not stereotypical if it's true. I posed some questions to you about all this and see, this is what you come back with. You are so freakin weak minded and pathetic.

I don't hate the black folks at all. You just don't understand what racism even is anyway. I wouldn't take a black running quarterback on the 1st day of the draft? Is that racism? Is there one black player in pro sports smarter than their white agent? What would Jawaan doing if he never participated in athletics? He was raised in the ghetto of Detroit. Now you disagree with what isay, but you cabn't refute any of it, you just act like the media and jessee Jackson and just dismiss it as racism. Back something up for once in your damn life.

Just when i think that you can't get any dumber than you are, you surprise me.

Seems like there is not a rush of people on here disagreeing with me, just you. Now, I know your type, so you'll come back and tell me that no one on her even listens to me because they know I'm an idiot, right? haha. Typical, but you know thats not true at all. if people have something to say, they'll say it rather they like the poster or not. But, nobody is saying anything. Even, all yhour "friends"thatseek you out for your advice or one of the 24K girls in Madison that you think are taking a liking to your dorky ass.

Now,call your mom, wish her happy Mothers day and spend some time with her.

You will just keep proving that you are my little whipping boy bitch around here and couldn't respond with any real argument if your life depended on it.

**BuddyBear** · 05-14-06, 10:52 AM

okay if you want to have real argument we can...it's no problem for me...the only reason i am arguing is b/c i am not betting these days so i have free time...

so if you aren't racist and you don't hold racist views or attitudes what exactly is racism to you....b/c maybe here where our disagreements and paradigms differ....

what do you think would happen if Mel Kiper came out and said " I wouldn't take a black running quarterback on the 1st day of the draft?" or let's say say Joe Buck asked this question on air "Is there one black player in pro sports smarter than their white agent?" how do you think there comments would be treated????

You see, thats one of the problems these days. If they said that all hell would break loose. But, should it?

This is why you and I don't see eye to eye. Well, that and the fact you are beneath me. You like all these fools have to be so politically correct and worried about offending some and lawsuits, you can't give honest assessment.

Thats why alot of broadcasters are horrible is because they have to be so vanilla out of fear of saying "the wrong thing" and getting people upset and getting fired. Tak Rush Limbaugh for example, is it reallty inaccurate of what he said, but he gets fired and all of this flack for what he said about McNabb who by the way is the best of the bunch and it took him 7 years to figure it out.

There was a thead entitles "Vince Young" on here started by Scorpion awhile back. I don't even know if that thread is still on here now. But, I have FACTUAL reasons of why you don't take balck quarterbacks. I gave FACTUAL references that they miss an entire season due to injury which is true. Go through em, they all miss at least a year because of the way they play. It's a detailed list of why you don't take running quarterbacks.

See, Kiper should be able to say that because it's accuate but america is so pussified and weak these days, if he said that, he'd get fired even tghough it is 100% correct.

You notice you still can't give an answer for questions posed to you that you claim are racist? Like, is there a black athlete that is smarter than his white agent? You'd think there would at least by one, but there isn't. And you actually consider that racism.

Your just as dumb as Congress and the GM's that would take the black, running quarterbacks.
