OJ Mayo
O.J. Mayo was a player who showed tremendous promise early in his career but never quite made it. Maybe that’s because his focus wasn’t all on basketball. Tony Allen would agree as the two of them got in an altercation over a gambling debt.
To make matters worse, it was on an airplane. Only so much room for separation at 30,000 feet. Later in his career, Mayo was suspended for testing positive for performance-enhancing substances, blaming the failed test on several factors but never taking full responsibility.
Where Are They Now: Since having worn out his welcome in the NBA, Mayo has been playing hoops overseas, starting with a brief stint in Puerto Rico, then taking his efforts to the Far East, playing pro basketball in Taiwan. Most recently, he was signed by the Taipei Fubon Braves of the ASEAN Basketball League.
