SAD news Cleveland Cavaliers head coach George Karl house was set on fire after a serious robbery read

Former NBA head coach George Karl has an interesting view on players using illegal substances or being addicts and said the biggest problems players have are women who are always in constant supply no matter where they go with their team.

Karl knew some of his players were addicts

When you’ve been in the NBA for more than four decades as a player and a coach, you’ve pretty much seen it all, and nothing can no longer surprise you. George Karl served as a head coach in the league for over three decades and, throughout his career, worked with a lot of great players but also problematic individuals that happened to be good at basketball

In his book “Furious George”, he talks about the players that had their share of problems throughout their careers, fighting with various addictions. George admits he never saw any of his players using drugs or drinking alcohol, but he knew some of them were addicts, and for him, it was only a problem when it started affecting team chemistry. Karl didn’t really care what their occupations were off the floor as long as they adequately executed and did their jobs on the basketball court.

Multiple times Karl witnessed that the availability of good-looking women was the biggest problem for many players. When you are a well-known player, it’s even more accessible, and your opportunities are so vast a lot of guys lose focus, which affects their performance on the court. Unfortunately, Karl has seen it too many times because not everyone can resist the temptation on every corner when you are a famous NBA player.
