Bingo!
Mike is right when he said " I like JoeE, I liked him best when I had him alone, playing basketball or shooting the shit. No crowds for him to work and impress, just him low key. He has a lot of good in him, I tried to pull it out."
I saw that side of him many times............. it all changed when he thought he had 'to play the role..... "being a player" certainly wasn't in his best interest. He spent way too much time 'buying friends with money. I tried to tell him that. It wasn't necessary. He had a good heart and was way to generous at times. He didn't need to buy friends - just let the bullshit go and be himself. But, i guess it wasn't enough. A person is bettr off having 5 friends that you can count on than a thousand that you had to buy.
