The hype that O.J. Mayo had coming out of high school is officially over. Over. OFFICIALLY. He regained some of it during his kinda-promising stint in Dallas, but Milwaukee has sapped all the hype out of him and replaced it with body fat. Now he’s just a guy who can score in bunches, sometimes, but usually he just gives you some unnoticed minutes off the bench.
I wonder how O.J. is taking all of this. To go from the next MJ to…not the next MJ…must really take a toll on a guy. I wouldn’t know, since I was never touted as being the “next MJ” in any endeavor, other than perhaps preparing and consuming microwavable food products. But I can guess. Hopefully O.J. doesn’t get too down on himself.
