OK, so Ricky pees in the shower and gets into rows with teammates. Like 
that's never happened before in Celtics history.  Does that make him evil? 
I'm sure not even St. Eric always put the toilet seat down, or even raised 
it beforehand - not to mention being a small-time hood in his younger 
years. But he grew up. Why can't Ricky? Most of these kids don't exactly 
come from two-car garage-, or even two-parent families.   Rough edges are 
to be expected. If their behavior doesn't conform to the expectations of 
some scribe with a silver-spoon background, that doesn't necessarily make 
them evil. More evidence is needed.
