Michael Ray Richardson, formerly a troubled #NBA star, is counting his blessings in Oklahoma. The four-time All-Star known as “Sugar” was first to be banned from league for life for drugs. The #Thunder fan is also a regular at games. #NBAFinals @andscape bit.ly/44bUkcy

More Sugar....
Bonus Hollander POTD Michael Ray Richardson. Drafted 4th in 78 + was good (3x all-stars + led NBA in APG + SPG). Team was ok so they traded him for Bernard in 82. After half year, GS sent to NJ. Had 4 stormy season in NJ, was good but banned in 86 for drugs. Made good in Europe.

Listen to @jakeuitti discuss the process of co-writing Sugar's excellent memoir.
There's so much more to Michael Ray's life than his famed quote. That said, it is terrific. 😏
