I dont think that Floyd is ever coming back because of what.......

[My Name Is...]

I was told today by former All-Star NBA'er Antonio McDyess.

Antonio is one of my customers and my homeboy even more. He was telling me today that after the nest 2 seasons are up that he is retiring. I told him that he still had it, and why would he do that. He said that he has been playing so long that he no longer loves the sport. He said he watches no basketball and doesnt even keep up with it. He said he no longer has a passion to play. He said he told the Pistons that he doesnt want to start this year. He wants to come off of the bench.

It kind of gave me insight to a professional athletes mid right then and there. He has decided 3 or more years in advance. Since the beginning of his contract with them. I see Floyd the same way. He no longer has the love for the game. No longer wants to deal with the BS. It seems to me that it is now a JOB and not a hobby or a passion of theirs.

It was just a weird akward moment. The fist thing that popped in my head was Floyd. And I dont think Floyd loves it anymore. Once you lose the love, you no longer can fully give it your all.

Oh and by the way, Antonio is a bigger fan of boxing than almost anyone on this site. He is one real, nice, humble, and genuine person.

Boxers tend to get that itch though. They think they're done with the sport, but they miss it too much. They've been doing it so long, it's what they know and do best.

It's happened numerous times before, and I think it'll happen again with Floyd, who's been boxing since was how old? 4? 5?

Can someone please explain Trinidad who can't seem to stay retired. PBF still has the goods and it would be a shame if he wastes his abilities away on account of lack of desire for the sport.

He probably misses the limelight. And then of course, I think he got an 8 figure payday for fighting Jones.

they don't call him McNice for nothing.

if surprised he hung around this long, he used to be such an explosive and dominant player before he hurt his knee, that had to be very frustrating and difficult to adjust to.

he's my favorite Piston by far.

Then there will always be a chance of Floyd coming back as well because of the lure of the mighty greenback. He was gonna get it with Oscar but Oscar was being an even bigger greedy ****.

Yeah he said that he loved dunking on people. Loved being explosive. He said that ever since he blew his knee out that it just hasnt been the same. I told him that he still had his jumper, and he responded "yeah but it aint the same". He said that he is focusing on the younger guys and helping them develop. Come off the bench and then retire in 2 years. Man, he is one cool dude. Hooked me up with 440 dollars for 2 1/2 hours of work. Cool dude.
