    But man, Mo Cheeks

    It was Barnes's stint with the 76ers, however, that had the most profound impact on his career. In '06, Barnes played in 56 games for Philadelphia, averaging 3.1 points in 11.8 minutes. He also developed what can best be described as an acrimonious relationship with Sixers head coach Maurice Cheeks. According to Barnes, Cheeks would frequently degrade him, resulting in his confidence sinking to an all-time low. "He's the biggest a--hole in the world," says Barnes. "He talked to me like I wasn't a man. Other players saw it and would tell me, 'don't let him talk to you like that.' SI.com

    Following the '06 season, Barnes seriously considered quitting basketball. An All-America wide receiver in high school, Barnes even contemplated a career in professional football, saying he had "seven or eight" NFL teams interested in bringing him in for a tryout. "I was real close [to quitting]," says Barnes. "My teammates knew it. My friends knew it. My agent knew it. I was done." SI.com
    I was watching a Barnes interview, where hes still pissed.
