Marv is reason #1 why i hate when fans/media romanticize the 'quiet' players. Ngga you dont know wtf them nggas do in their spare time.
'He just goes to work , gets the job doen, then goes home. A true professional'...
Yea ok, that ngga could have keys and dead bodies in his basement.
On one hand I agree with you.
On the other hand,
people that say that are usually just talking about how they approach the game not so much their personal life. Regardless of whatever bullshit he was involved in off the field, Harrison was a true professional on the field.
Yea but a lot of people cross that line. 'You'll never meet a nicer guy"...etc. Its a huge elephant in the room
I remember somebody asked me 'what was wrong with Bill Walton', he's a good example of a guy who would use a player's demeanor on the court to project them as just awesome people irl.
I.e people hated TO and Chad, but loved Mike Jordan (think about THAT shyt lol), loved Tiger, love Jeter, love Tony Parker (even though that ngga fuked his teammate's wife) etc...Karl Malone was the nice obedient black man who plays so nice with those kind white folk...meanwhile he knocked up a 13 yr old girl when he was 20. etc, etc, etc.
