Richard Dumas will forever go down as a "what could've been" player.
Tremendous athleticism and talent, but didn't have the kind of career someone with his ability should've had.
Drugs ultimately ruined it all, but that doesn't explain his entire story.
Now 51 years old, Dumas addressed the how and why of his life in an interview on VladTV, which mostly interviews rappers, entertainers and athletes.
He talked about his drug abuse, being a second-round pick of the Phoenix Suns in 1991, getting suspended for a year, playing with Charles Barkley and against Michael Jordan in the 1993 finals in which Phoenix lost in six games to the three-peat Chicago Bulls.
