    Very good read. How does a guy like this get to this point, how do his friends not know, and not do something..very sad. I hope he makes a full and complete recovery.

    Sports was able to hide all of this for a long time.

    As long as he was winning games nobody cared.

    Oxy is the #1 street drug now and you can but it at any strip mall parking lot. Kids will pay $20 for one "blue" that costs 20 cents. It is one of the most addictive narcotics out there and there are no shortage of unscrupulous MDs and pharmacists who will supply the street vendors.

    I have nothing but sympathy for Ainge.

    I am glad he was able to turn things around and hope he can resurrect his career.
