Adam Morrison has two NBA championship rings. Adam Morrison, the college All-American who has become one of the most spectacular busts in NBA Draft History; Adam Morrison, the confusingly mustached cipher who spent more of his NBA career wearing suits, relegated to the inactive list of players sitting behind the bench, than jerseys; Adam Morrison, the muscled small forward with Andrew W.K. hair who YouTube resurrected from obscurity via a captivating highlight video of a game with Red Star Belgrade. Adam Morrison having two rings is a fact cited for its ridiculousness: it's one of the greatest indictments of the idea that a championship is the alpha and the omega of pro sports. Despite having two rings, Morrison's career has been, by his account, difficult and often miserable. As a basketball player and person, he evaporated in the heat of the NBA.
