Darius Miles files for bankruptcy

[Sinobas]

Miles was a really nice guy. His mom was the driving force behind him playing ball. He never loved it. He played because of the money. That doesn't make him a douche. That doesn't make him an asshole. I bet most of us have done a job that we didn't really enjoy for the money. He was a good dude. No reason to hate him.

I enjoyed watching him during his short time here. He was good at taking it to the hoop.

Him and Von Wafer were the only players that I've been around in my 12 seasons traveling with the team that were really jerks. Sounds like Nate got a different vibe. He was an ass.

Did you buy his car?

He can now run for President like four time bankrupt Trump

Trump never declared personal bankruptcy. But you know that.

Paul Allen had D Miles right where he wanted him; a restricted free agent who could go out, secure a contract from 29 other teams to set his value. Tick tock, tick tock, shockingly there were no other bidders. So, PA signed Miles to a (at the moment) too high priced contract that allowed Miles to think he was really a good player. Ha!

Karma is right! But I do feel sorry for the kid. He doesn't have the smarts to have survived with all that money.

PS Crandc.....big difference between personal bankruptcy (which he has never filed) and business bankruptcy.

What's the difference? He was the decision-maker who decided to stiff a lot of creditors. Many individual and business creditors, large and small, lost money to create his businesses' unearned gains from escaping debts. The large company creditors had to charge their customers more to make up the losses.

Can you explain the difference, from the viewpoint of someone losing the money that he (oops, his business) owes you, and you won't ever be paid? (You also lose your attorney fees, trying to defend your account receivable.)

Lets keep the Trump talk in the OT section.

Exactly. People didn't just lose money; he put numerous businesses, and families, out of business with his actions. He has shown this technique of fucking people over is a sound business strategy for amassing personal wealth; not so much for running a country. When he bankrupts the country in the same manner as his businesses, who the fuck is going to forgive our debt and bail us out? Might want to start learning Chinese. And Russian.

Sad news for ex-NBA star Darius Miles ... who's in danger of losing a bunch of his prized possessions in his bankruptcy case -- including his signed LeBron James jersey.

TMZ Sports has obtained court docs filed in Illinois where 35-year-old Miles -- who made more than $60 MILLION in the NBA -- filed for Chapter 7.

In the docs, the trustee overseeing Miles' case says he intends to auction off a bunch of Darius' valuables to pay back his debts -- valuables that include the following:

-- Autographed LeBron James jersey

-- Autographed Mark McGwire bat

-- PlayStation and Xbox consoles

-- Large screen TVs

-- Firearms

-- approximately 1,000 CDs and DVDs

The auction is set to go down on Dec. 14th in Illinois. Miles can object to the auction -- but he needs to move quickly.

Sad news for Zach Randolph. His mother died yesterday on Thanksgiving. Oregon racists can celebrate that, too.

Plenty of reasons to hate him. Not the least of which was hitting on high school sophomores IN A DAMN HIGH SCHOOL.

That is disgusting. At least he could have got them fake IDs and hit them at the bar.

He went pro straight out of high school. Why wouldn't he go straight to the high school to go fishing?
