Apparently one of O.J. Mayo’s handlers was paid by USC coach Tim Floyd to….I guess direct Mayo to go to USC. And before we get to the blockquote of this “story,” let me pull my socks up:
In a story posted Tuesday night at Yahoo! Sports, Louis Johnson, the former associate of Mayo’s, said Rodney Guillory told Johnson that Floyd had given Guillory “a grand.” Johnson said he was able to view $100 bills inside an envelope Guillory had.
Look, Louis Johnson is an ass and, apparently, an ass with enough X-ray vision to look into envelopes. Reggie Bush got boatloads more money and he wasn’t a fraction of the sure thing in the pros that Mayo was. The only thing one of those guys would have done for a grand would have been in a motel room with a couple of Asian girls. I’m pretty sure this was the entire plot of the hit 2008 film, Never Back Down.
USC men's basketball coach and alleged chronic masturbator Tim Floyd said that asking O.J. Mayo to return for his sophomore season would be "irresponsible," citing that Mayo is already likely to be a lottery pick and that the coach had no intention of standing between Mayo and a huge stack of cash, saying something to the effect of "If it's his dream of playing in the NBA, he should do that."
Floyd made the remarks on Rome Is Burning last night. The rest of Floyd's appearance on the show consisted of having a take and not sucking.
Mayo would probably not be in the college game right now were it not for the NBA's recent rule that prohibits players from making the jump straight to the pros from high school, which is bullshit. Does Las Vegas make aspiring hookers take communion? Did the Hitler Youth have to get passing grades in economics? Why is Mayo in college to begin with? He should be averaging 15 and 10 a night for the Clippers before snorting blow out of some 31-year-old intern's asshole. I mean, if it's his dream to snort blow out of an intern's asshole, he should do that.
Mayo would be batshit insane to stay, even if it is USC. Why settle for Reggie Bush money when you can get LeBron money?
