Speaking of OJ Mayo, everyone is certainly not unfamiliar, in the past two seasons, Mayo followed the CBA Liaoning team to the finals, although it failed to lead the team to win the championship, but Mayo's performance left a deep impression on the fans. O.J. Mayo was also a talented player, and in high school and college, O.J. Mayo was invincible, but his arrogant attitude ruined him. Like many black stars, he was born in a slum and grew up in a chaotic environment, and if it weren't for this reason, he might still be seen in the NBA today. He was in the same predicament as most black people, and those close to him always wanted to use his fame to gain some benefits, and there were too many bad people around him and too loud.
How good has Mayo been? Even Derrick Rose, who ran in the draft with him, has modestly said that he will learn Mayo's skills. The 2008 tandem was able to average 18.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game in the first year of entering the league, and was successfully selected as the best rookie and twice elected the rookie of the month. It can be said that in the time when Mayo first entered the league, he was a talented player comparable to Rose, even if not a superstar, but definitely the future can be expected.
Mayo is an extremely indisciplined player in private, and his attitude of training is very lazy, which has led to him not improving in the years since he entered the league, and he has been eating the old money. In the Grizzlies' third year, the team was completely disappointed in Mayo, pinning him on the bench, and after the rookie contract ended, Mayo was traded by the team to the Mavericks. When he was with the Mavericks, the head coach admired him and kept playing him as a starter, but Mayo failed to understand the coach's good intentions, and after only one season, Mayo was sent to the Bucks, and then began to decline. After leaving the Bucks, no team was willing to accept Mayo, and Mayo went to major overseas leagues, but the performance was still uneven. Mayo has been playing in the CBA for the past two years, but his form has slipped very significantly, and this season he has been abandoned by Liaoning again.
No one's success is achieved overnight, not even a genius, and Mayo paid a terrible price for his youthful madness. Even if there are many people who feel sorry for him, what is the point? If he can put his posture right and take his profession seriously, I believe that the upper limit of his talent will not be low. In any case, Mayo's life is also a success, but it is worth mentioning that the 34-year-old Mayo has not yet been married, and he has not heard of any scandals. But this is also good, there is no woman in his heart, playing natural god, he can single-mindedly gallop on the field. Now Mayo is playing in the VTB League again, and in any case, I wish him a smooth career in the future.
