Disconnected Life Lessons

The below video clip is an exampled of "disconnected life lessons."

Stephon Marbury has learned alot in his life as an athlete and businessman, but he learned many of these lessons as a boy. Boys don't process information the same way that men do. The result is the incoherent ramblings of a boy/man having very public nervous breakdowns because he has had a sudden revelation of how real life is when you become a man.

I pray for Stephon Marbury because he is a good guy. He's also a smart guy. But his response to the current pressures on his life and his thought process (smoking weed on camera during a contract year?) are severely flawed.

I call it a "disconnected life lesson" because his business acumen and skill as a player were developed while he was still a very young guy. There was no gradual growth for this guy. His talent thrust him in a place where he had to make grown man decisions. That's the place of the disconnect: when you don't know how to process thoughts and decisions appropriately, but you have no choice but to do so.

peep the vid and throw one up for him.
