OK, listen up — no, really


Dirk Nowizky’s Dallas Mavericks teammates tried to warn him about his grifter fiancée, to no avail. Finally, he listened to his longtime German coach and had her investigated, leading to the jailing of Cristal Taylor on outstanding fraud charges — and to the end of their affair. Even so, Taylor might be carrying Nowitsky’s child, which means he might be paying a long time for his failure to listen to his chums.

Arturo Gatti became enamored of a woman in a strip club — always a good start to a solid, long-term relationship — and didn’t listen to his friends when they warned him about Amanda Rodrigues. (That’s her on top, after her arrest.)

Now, he’s dead and she’s suspected of strangling him with the strap of her purse.

Moral of the story: When your pals try to warn you about the “woman of your dreams,” you just might want to listen.
