Re: Lol locking threads about the Henderson kid...
In the late 90's, one of the players in my weekly neighborhood ballgame was Kenny Dennard, who had played for Duke from 1978-81, and then made it to the NBA, where he played from 1982-85. That last NBA season, he put a spin move on Karl Malone twice in a game, scoring easy buckets each time, & making Malone look bad. Then he tried it a third time. Malone knew exactly what was coming, but Kenny didn't. Malone was right there waiting when he came out of that spin. Kenny never knew what hit him, other than it was completely debilitating pain, right where you don't want to get hit.
It took two operations, & Kenny never played in the pros again. And that was for making somebody look bad in the NBA, playing fair and square by the rules.
If Marshall Henderson ever got to the NBA, God help him if he tries anything close to his current behavior. He wouldn't last a season. The way he acts out is not playing by the rules, it's showboating & worse. Hell, he'll be lucky to get through this college season intact if he keeps it up. He will run into his own DeMarcus Cousins or Karl Malone equivalent one day, & it won't be pretty.
