Save for guys like Gretzky and Lebron....
you got:
Agassi
Capriati
Todd Marinovich
Tiger Woods
Freddy Adu (not really any mishaps with the law...but unrealistic expectations that he never lived up to)
Doc Gooden
Josh Hamilton
Kournikova
Kobe
Maurice Clarett
they get pressured so much to perform on the court/field from such a young age, that when they get the chance to cut loose...they just don't know what to do or act.
Is there anyone else we can add to this list?

I think people are misconstruing what DoubleJ was getting at with this thread. He's basically making note of the correlation between being dubbed a prodigy at a young age and running into criminal/civil problems during their career.
just so there is NO confusion...
