I'm not sure David Foster Wallace can be compared to an NBA player...and in fact I'm sure he did not have much time on his hands as he was teaching too. But certainly, stardom does have a funny effect on people. Again, if only people could put things in perspective, the world would be a much happier place (well, i should say America would be).
