Re: Antoine and the Boobirds

    After reading all these posts on Antoine, I find myself really baffled.  
here we have a guy who clearly has tons and tons of talent and ability, who 
clearly has a competitive fire in him, and who has a wide variety of skills 
(3-point shooter, inside scorer, passer, rebounder, etc.)  Yet he is 
constantly subject to criticism.  It's almost like the only thin he lacks is 
a basketball brain.
    Can anyone name another player in Celtic (or NBA) lore who is similar is 
having such clear talent but being so incredibly contoversial?  And I'm not 
talking about career wastes like Shawn Kemp.   
     A minor note from the LA Times:  on the night John Stockton scored 20 
points on his 40th birthday, one of the referees was Leon Wood.  Leon Wood 
was drafted #10 in the NBA draft in 1984; Stockton was drafted #16.
