He seems like if anything he was a little naive and immature to start out, and made a few bad choices...the justice system has taken it's course, ST has paid his penalties and stayed clean since...IMO Wilbon needs to come down off his sanctimonious high horse and STFU...

EXACTLY. From what I understand, Wilbon grew up pretty well off in suburban Chicago, played high school tennis, and went to ritzy, private Northwestern University. But he's so quick to play the race card, and as you say, act like he's "down with the struggle." He's also a member at luxurious Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, MD. But he's down, right? Sanctimonious high horse is exactly right.
Sean was raised by a police chief, never got in any trouble at the U. He made a few bad choices right after coming into the league, and hasn't had a single off-field transgression since. But he "embraced" thug life, right Wilbon? What an asshole.
