Harold Miner | Former USC basketball phenom Harold Miner makes peace with past - Los Angeles Times

I can definitely relate to this, after having injuries that forced me to stop playing;

I needed to purge myself of the game, kind of keep a safe distance from the game,” Miner explains over lunch, “because it really hurt to not be able to play anymore.

Basketball was my life, and for it to be taken away so abruptly was tough. Every time March Madness would come around, or the NBA playoffs or All-Star weekend, it was kind of an emotional time for me. It was tough to watch, you know?

“I think that when I said that if I didn’t make the NBA I’d be a drug dealer, people got scared of that,” says the now 33-year-old Booger. “But it was a real story.

Somebody needs to put an end to this horrible, horrible hot streak.
