Quintin could have been a star, he arrived at the Bulls a year before Jordan but his career was marked by a youthful mistake and those that followed. He then found the right path, but at just 49 years old he died of a heart attack
“Cocaine was my best friend. It gave me the chance to have someone to talk to, who would listen to my problems. And drugs give you that chance, even if it’s not real. If I hadn’t stopped, I would have died.” Quintin Dailey is not a name that younger fans remember. He was a great player for the Chicago Bulls of the pre-Jordan era, when they weren’t nationally relevant, well, when they weren’t winning, and of MJ’s early career.
