Summary

This week, we look at a man who never met a fight that he didn't like. He fought his way from the projects, to college, where he did a strange combination of extracurricular activities. He was the most feared man in the ABA, regularly punching out both opponents & teammates. His time in the NBA was cut short by his violent nature, so he went to Uganda to hang out with the dictator, Idi Amin... and was never heard from again. Or, did he die in Jonestown, with his aunt? Or, is he still alive somewhere, hiding from his problems?


Introduce yourself using your fists, turn basketball into a contact sport, and be called "Lebron James with anger issues" with John Brisker!!


Check us out, every Tuesday!

 

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