Its amazing how people think that these Professionals are so cultured and make insightful decisions.
Truth is -- millionaires or not -- they are regular guys with copious amounts of cash.
I always use Artest as an example.
Artest is a great guy and IS great for basketball.
People dont understand that your personality and foundations of your emotions at 15, 17, 21, 30 years old -- are very much the same. He comes from a tough enviornment and if you really want shit he will give it you. Sometimes rational thought does not play into your "fight or flight" reaction.
I have always been a strong minded person. If you want to fight or if words cannot settle the dispute - "come get some" I was like that at 15 and Im like that now.
Bottom line they were both stupid for pulling guns BUT I can see how it could happen.

You have obviously not matured emotionally. But for most of the adult population, maturity comes right around or after puberty.
Even animals make decisions when in a "fight or flight" scenario. What does that make someone who doesn't use rational thought?
