Quintin Dailey of the Seattle SuperSonics says he will be a changed man for his 10th NBA season.The former Cardinal Gibbons star has rejoined the team after being hospitalized in Calabasas, Calif., during the past month for what has been diagnosed as a form of adult residual attention deficit. Those afflicted with the disorder are hyperactive, distractible and impulsive. They have short attention spans.Dailey, 30, said he is taking medication to help calm him down.The Sonics placed him on the league's suspended list because he was in the hospital.

SEATTLE -- Balance, more than anything, is what Quintin Dailey finds when he steps on a scale these days.Rejoining the Seattle SuperSonics this week after a mysterious disappearance last spring, he weighed in at a near-svelte 210 pounds. That's 25 to 30 pounds lighter than the Pillsbury Doughboy look-a-like who comically tried to throw his weight around a basketball court at the end of last season.Yet a scale alone cannot measure the excess baggage Dailey, a graduate of Baltimore's Cardinal Gibbons high school, has lost in recent weeks.

John Arthur Dailey, a retired Baltimore Fire Department lieutenant, died of cancer Sept. 13 at Charlestown Retirement Community, where he had lived for the past year. The former Orchard Beach and Ten Hills resident was 86. Born in Baltimore and raised on Hollins Street, he was a graduate of St. Peter the Apostle Parochial School. He joined the city Fire Department and was assigned as a firefighter to Truck 13 on Carey Street in Southwest Baltimore. His career was interrupted by service in the Army Corps of Engineers as a staff sergeant during World War II. Mr. Dailey retired from the Fire Department about 30 years ago. He had been a member of St. William of York and St. Jane Frances De Chantal Roman Catholic churches.

Desmond Dailey "is like watching time stand still, like a rerun 17 years apart," said Max Powers, who has been Glen Burnie High's public address announcer for 19 years.Powers, a native of Indiana and die-hard Hoosier fan, watched Desmond's father, Tony Dailey, roam the court for the Gophers in the late '70s."Desmond has total awareness on the court just like his dad, and it's an innate trait that can't be coached and learned," said Powers. "Great athletes are born with it."Tony Dailey, a 1977 grad of Glen Burnie, was one of the top players Terry Bogle has coached in his 27 years at Glen Burnie.

SEATTLE -- Balance, more than anything, is what Quinti Dailey finds when he steps on a scale these days.Rejoining the Seattle SuperSonics this week after a mysterious disappearance last spring, he weighed in at a near-svelte 210 pounds.Yet a scale alone cannot measure the excess baggage Dailey has lost in recent weeks.While being treated for a neurological disorder at a Calabasas, Calif., hospital the past month, Dailey uncovered "a bag of anger so heavy I couldn't even pull it."No wonder.

CHICAGO -- Some lives are fated to be incomplete. Some careers don't blossom. Some athletes never mine their deep potential.A decade ago, the world belonged to Quintin Dailey. He was a smooth-as-butter guard for the University of San Francisco after starring at Cardinal Gibbons High. A born scorer. He could wake from a slumber, walk out to the asphalt and drain a jump shot. Winter or summer. Swish.He was an All-American. He was a guaranteed first-round draft pick. His future was brimming with the promise of All-Star games and championship rings.

How Baltimore's Quintin Dailey is going about establishing a new life for himself merits attention and applause. He was caught in a tailspin of turmoil and, if the pattern continued, would have crashed against the wall in a certain dead end.Charges of assaulting a nurse and using drugs, problems he created, involved him in serious trouble. He paid substantial fines, offered apologies and tried to break with the past. Over-eating, drinking and, finally, depression overwhelmed him.Dailey's productive 10-year career in the National Basketball Association had played out. He decided he would take his wife Angela, who he calls a "Chicago lady," and their two young children to a city that afforded year-round sunshine and a chance where the future might offer a different kind of opportunity.

His love is basketball and baseball is in his blood.Choosing between the two sports is impossible for Glen Burnie High's gifted senior athlete Desmond Dailey.When he's raining threes on an opponent and scoring as many as 47 points in a game, basketball comes first for the 6-foot-2 Dailey.When he's batting .380 and playing left field for the Gophers, baseball is his passion."My dad tells me to play the sports I love and he'll support me whichever sport I choose down the road," said Dailey.
