I don't think he's being a dick I just think he's playing up to people that came out to watch him play for 4 years and giving a send off.

I don't think MJ would've done that. Or Dr. J, Charles Barkley, the list can go on and on. There are better ways to thank the fans. Like at the end of the game addressing the fans and saying Thank you and please continue to support my career through college and the NBA.

Nah I knew everyone would react that way but I thought all in all it's guy who most everyone here knows about him and I figured they'd be interested to see his sign off.

Great pickup for USC, now the controversy can lean towards their bball program too aside from the football program that violates multiple rules every year!!!

I don't think his "sign off" was necessary at all. But, that doesn't mean it wasn't pretty slick.

I just guess I don't get the ball fling at the end of the oop to himself. He could have done his "sign off" without that, imo.

Regardless, I'm glad he won't be wearing purple next year.

Better get ready because Bob Huggins doesn't care if guys act that way or not all he cares about is if you can play......if he had his way OJ Mayo would be on your team.

Never heard of him, but judging by some of those comments under the video he's been treated like a deity for a while. Good thing it hasn't gone to his head.

I don't get ANY of this. I'm confused. I'm a Jayhawks fan. Why on Earth would Huggins want Mayo, but want him on the Jayhawks?!

He thought you were a bitter KSU fan.

Nevermind I thought you were saying you liked Kstate and were glad he wasn't on your team.

Wow, he dunked the ball. I've never seen that before.

Saulbadguy 03-20-2007 06:23 PM

God, I wish we had Mayo. I'm still bitter about that. Oh well, we OWN U$C in basketball and football.

They weren't the people he played in front of for four years. Here's how a better HS point guard ended his career (in the state title game):

Derrick Rose: 2 points (averages 20+), 8 boards and 9 assists. Spent the 2nd half getting balls to his teammates for them to score and enjoy their last game as seniors.

I'm not bashing OJ Mayo individually. As others have said, he's a product of today's society. I'm sure I'd be thrilled if he were coming to KState, even with the apparent baggage. Just thought it was interesting that another player just as hyped finished with class.

The only two things from West virginia are steers and queers, and I don't see any horns on you MAYO-Naisse!

Bill S Preston 03-20-2007 07:17 PM

I can't wait till he gets his ass kicked by UCLA twice a year.

Phobia 03-20-2007 07:24 PM

I've never heard of the guy. Hopefully I'll never hear of him again.
