I can remember reading Bill Reynold's pieces about him in the Pro-Jo, years ago - calling attention to his drug use.
I haven't read the book, but I found the pieces in the paper too revealing. He was labeled very young and very publicly as drug user. I didn't think it was ethical journalism. To label and exploit someone at that age, it almost always becomes self fulfilling. Reynolds has gotten a lot of copy over the years on that kid and now the book, Basketball Junkie.

We've got institutional corruption just coming to light now. It didn't just start yesterday. Where has the press been?
