Thought I'd post this.  From Slate. It goes into great detail about his controversial history, and that in retrospect, does not believe he suffers from bipolar disorder.  Also about his desire to come back to the NBA.  Very well written article in Slate Magazine.

Great article. Its a shame West just imploded... I don't understand the need for that many fire arms either... Sigh.

Miss the golden days of West, Allen, Jefferson, Perkins, Pierce, and Rondo ;)

We had a thread on this a couple days ago. Definitely worth the read.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

I used to think that being a professional athlete would solve all my problems. But after reading this article I suspect there are far more players than just Royce White who suffer from high anxiety and stress to perform. Maybe Royce was born with his and others just fall into the quicksand that is anxiety and depression.
