Finding out things that can be said in the United States cannot be said in other countries. Although it seems that Orton is 100% correct.........

While this particular story is no big deal, from first hand experience there was no bigger tool of a basketball player from at my time at UK than Daniel Orton. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

I was talking to a friend yesterday about him. I wonder how much career earnings he threw away by leaving Kentucky when he did.

If he had played on the 2011 team could it have done what it did with his attitude in the mix? Or would they have won the whole thing because of his talents in the middle? Would Harrelson had time to develop into the player he did that year?

Yeah I actually was putting this on more to show how different it is to play overseas as opposed to a Daniel Orton is an idiot story.

I knew they loved Manny over there but damn!!!! The MLK of the Phillipines!!! Don't you talk about Manny!!!! :lol2:

A representative from the team Orton played for compared his actions to someone from the Philippines coming to the US and talking bad or insulting Martin Luther King Jr.:no:

I hope Floyd Mayweather destroys him now for sure.

Good questions. I think he might have lost some of the attitude because he would have played a much bigger role on that team and would have been very involved.

 

Harrelson wouldn't have developed, I don't think.

I hope Orton has a ring side seat and bets a bundle on Floyd.

If I recall he had some serious issues with his knee at some point which is pretty much what derailed his NBA career. He's probably lucky he did leave early and get 2 years out of it.

I wouldn't root for Mayweather even if he was fighting ISIS

I agree. This is a sad example of why it behooves someone to leave early if they will be drafted. Strike while the iron is hot, because in the case of Orton, his iron was thrown in to an Alaskan pond.

You would root for people who murder Christians, behead journalists and steal vital organs from living victims over Mayweather?

I wouldn't root for Mayweather even if he was fighting ISIS

 

That's really sad.
