Derrick Caracter went from high school phenom to the target of fat jokes. Louisville coach Rick Pitino went from comparing him to Charles Barkley to calling him "a major thorn in my side" before kicking him off the team.
Now after three high schools, two colleges, multiple suspensions, wild weight fluctuations and questionable behavior and maturity, Caracter thinks he can still accomplish what once seemed inevitable: Play in the NBA.
"I was just fortunate enough to get all my problems out of the way," Caracter said Monday after working out for the Charlotte Bobcats. "I feel like I've grown from that, definitely. There are less problems that will occur on this stage, on this level."

Police initially said the cashier was pregnant, but later said that was an error.

Now that is embarrassing. Was she "just fat" ?
