Great article by Jemele Hill (shocker, I know).

Ole Miss player Marshall Henderson's passion doesn't hide his immaturity - ESPN

Henderson exited the first weekend of the NCAA tournament with quite a stat line. He took 42 shots in two tournament games and made just 14 of them. He went to a bar after Ole Miss upset Wisconsin in their tournament opener for shots of a different kind. And then after the Rebels were eliminated by La Salle, Henderson left the court hoisting two middle fingers toward the fans in the arena.

And unlike a lot of the jumpers he took that weekend, those gestures scored a direct hit.

Only Henderson barely received any condemnation for his behavior. All it did was further balloon Henderson's street cred.

Not only does Henderson have license to shoot at will, but he also has been enabled to the point where he isn't accountable for anything.

This is just a breakdown of what Henderson has done in recent months. In January 2012, his probation was revoked after he reportedly tested positive for alcohol, marijuana and cocaine.

Cocaine.

The reaction? Eh, he was just a kid.

To get on probation in the first place, Henderson was found guilty in a case which stemmed from buying marijuana with counterfeit money.

The reaction? Hey, everyone makes mistakes.

And did I also mention that Ole Miss is Henderson's fourth school? And along the way, he's earned a reputation for being uncoachable, despite being the son of a coach. During the Kentucky game, during which he threw ice at the Ole Miss student section, he and coach Andy Kennedy got into a shouting match on the bench.

You're going to have a hard time convincing me that he's entertaining or a anywhere near a decent person.

Seems like the kind of guy that would shoot up a school.

Marshall Henderson is the anti-Aaron Craft, you hate him, but would love him if he's on your team. I would hate Marshall on our team, but love the moron in Ole Mess!

There is no comparison between the two. One is a winner and excellent basketball player, the other is not.

I read a good breakdown of how Craft fumbled through crunch time against Temple, making poor decisions, all the way to the last poor decision to run out the entire clock and shoot a long jumper, only to come out smelling like a rose with all the glory, because it went in.

In some ways, I hope he gets drafted so then I can watch Tony Allen or Metta World Peace pop him in the face.

Even though I really don't like the dude I'd be fine with having Craft on my team. Rooting for Marshall Henderson would feel a lot like rooting for Petrino.

Also, I'm legitimately blown away that Jemele Hill can actually write something that isn't complete trash.

I followed her on Twitter for a few months like a year or two ago because I remembered her being alright on Around the Horn. It was a definite mistake. She's better than the Whitlocks and Reillys of the sportswriting world, but that's not saying much.

Kennedy and Henderson are a match made in heaven. I'll be shocked if we don't here about them going out for a night on the town, snorting coke of a strippers a$$, and beating up taxi drivers together...BFFs.

I love Marshall!


But, the kid is on drugs...there is no doubt in my mind. Somehow they are getting him around the tests
