UNLESS YOU WANT TO HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND MURDER
Shawne Williams and Marquis Daniels are "troubled", as they say. Marquis Daniels has had some scrapes with the law, mostly involving weird fights at Indianapolis nightclubs that culminate with Stephen Jackson firing a gun in the air while a one-armed man tries to run him over. Daniels' Wikipedia page needs to be seen to be believed, as well. Check this out:
Daniels is noted for having several tattoos inscribed on different parts of his body. The tattoos range from an extremely detailed map of Florida that covers his entire back, a disturbing caricature of a man blowing his head with a shotgun on his lower right arm, and Chinese characters on his other arm which were apparently intended to represent his initials, but when translated into English, it actually reads "healthy woman roof".
Where to start? The map of Florida reminds us that the fact that he is from Florida makes him 8594% more likely to commit a crime. The man blowing his head off with a shotgun reminds us that Marquis likes to be, um, armed to the teeth. As for the "healthy woman roof" tattoo*... I think that's supposed to say "it's not healthy for a woman to be under Marquis Daniels' roof" because a woman accused one of Daniels' friends of sexual assault last weekend. Daniels isn't a suspect in the case, but once again demonstrates that Indiana players surround themselves with idiots.
To hammer that point home, Shawne Williams had a party and invited some dude that was arrested ON A MURDER CHARGE while driving from Williams' house. What. The. Hell. To make matters worse, the dude was driving in one of Williams' cars, and here's the kicker- IT'S THE SAME DUDE THAT WAS ARRESTED IN OCTOBER FOR GUN AND DRUG CHARGES WHILE DRIVING IN A CAR WITH WILLIAMS! This is the guy that turned Shawne Williams' reputation as a "good kid" to "troubled kid" overnight and perhaps jeopardized millions in future earnings for Williams. Williams has to be the biggest idiot in the NBA to hang around with this guy. I can just see NBA GM's thinking, "This Shawne Williams kid is a pretty good player, but if I sign him I also bring into my franchise a group of hangers-on that drive around with him constantly wielding drugs and guns and are wanted for murder. Hm... any chance we can lure Sam Perkins out of retirement instead?"
Then again, when you take a kid that went to Memphis (basically the Sing Sing of college basketball) and put them in Indianapolis, you're probably going to have disastrous consequences. In both cases where this dude got arrested near Williams, it doesn't appear that Williams is doing anything wrong, per se, but he's hanging out with a guy that is threatening his very lucrative livelihood.
Memo to Shawne- THIS MAN WILL DESTROY YOU. You have five or six years to make as much money in the NBA as you can, then you have to live the rest of your life with one year of college at MEMPHIS under your belt. A year at Memphis is about as good for your brain as a year hooked on crystal meth. Basically, your earning potential outside of basketball isn't great. Don't continue to be an idiot. Horde your money like the miser to end all misers. Cut your friends out of the payroll altogether. Otherwise, you will be that dude once your career is over.
(*Also worth noting in this article, Shawn Marion's tattoo on his leg that is supposed to say "The Matrix"? It actually translates to "demon bird moth balls". Fitting.)Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/02/if-you-invited-to-sleepover-at-indiana.html
