He was the epitome of wasted talent. He could never overcome whatever demons possessed him and ultimately ended up in prison. I have always said it was a shame you could not transfer talent from someone like him to someone who would fully use it. He could have been one of the greats but instead ended up in the What Could Have Been HOF.

Sad story.

To think what could have been or should have been. He aint the first and he wont be the last.
RIP Lawrence.
