Jerry Stackhouse is definitely the most embarrassed player this summer.
When the trade rumors first appeared, he scoffed. Sure, that talent from the University of Connecticut was really exceptional, playing as a starter for half a season with the Wizards and averaging 18 points.
But what about me? I'm a superstar averaging 29 points per game!
Alright, although Jerry Stackhouse is the first player in NBA history to average 29 points yet not make the All-NBA team. Yes, he didn't even make the Third Team.
But he just thinks the voters have no taste.
Jerry Stackhouse believes that, no matter how bad things get, he couldn't possibly be traded for someone like Richard Hamilton.
So he confidently told the reporters, "Hey, nobody would trade a general for a soldier!"
Then the next day he got traded.
This incident made the presumptuous Jerry Stackhouse a total joke, and no one knew how he went from being Jordan's Successor to the biggest clown in the league.
