Interesting Luther Wright video

This is a good video also. Wright is pretty open and it's great to see him change. He got molested by 2 males and 1 female growing up. I feel bad for him.

Great video. Great to see him doing well. And hats of to the Jazz organisation for arranging to have him paid the way they did.

PJ was Luther's coach at Seton Hall, as I recall the Laydens or Dave Friedman thought they were friends with PJ. He told them Luther was fine everything was okay. Later it was discovered Luther had exhibited symptoms and episodes while at Seton Hall. PJ lied to the Jazz, and possibly others to get his "Recruit" into the NBA. PJ jumped to the NBA himself the next year.

PJ was coming to NBA regardless - he turned around Seton Hall's program and made them an NCAA power house in a state where people don't really care all that much about college basketball. He did more than enough to deserve a shot in the NBA with or without Wright.

As for PJ vouching for Wright - what can you say, it was 26 years ago. Mental illness in sports wasn't discussed or understood back then. I'm sure he felt he was just protecting the kid.

While I'd love to think that NBA has gotten better when it comes to mental health, the recent Tyreke Evans suspension makes me think otherwise.
