Athlete of the Day---Joseph Forte

Joseph Forte wasn't just a good college basketball player. He was a great one. He led an offensively challenged Tar Heel team to the Final Four in 2000 when they probably didn't even deserve to be in the tournament. In his two years at UNC he averaged 19 points 6 rebounds and 3 assists and 2 steals. I find it strange that he never became anything in the NBA. In two seasons he averaged 1 point per game. He found himself jobless after he was arrested for gun possession (how original) and assault when he punched some dude during a pick-up game. I can forgive that second one. I mean what self respecting man presses charges over a punch in a pick-up game? That's just not in our DNA. You hit him back then settle it on the court not in court.

In 2005 he headed to Europe and has had decent success statistically, but because of his thuggery, he can't stay with one team. He's played for 6 teams in less than 5 years. How the fuck is that even possible?
