This week, we check out a guy, who was already signing autographs, while in the 6th grade. A prodigy, and phenom, on the level of Lebron James, but he could never quite live up to the hype. Instead, he screwed up. A lot. He seems to have particular liking of guns, specifically carrying them, in places that he shouldn't, such as planes, or New York City. He beefed with rappers, hung out with celebrities, and always ended up in trouble. He even took part in a huge financial scheme with 18 other NBA players! He's got it all!!

 

Be the best basketball prospect, in the country, when you're 11, be on the cover of Sports Illustrated, while you're still in high school, and wind up in prison, by the time you're 35 with Sebastian Telfair!!

 

Check us out, every Tuesday!

 

We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
