Hence why I maintain that what we're watching from this young man is a clear mental break. I know many here don't like when I say that, but it's true. I'm not trying to excuse his behavior, just trying to explain it. Normal thinking human beings don't act in this fashion. We're hardwired for self-preservation. When we're acting in ways that clearly go against our own self-preservation a mental break has occurred somehow, somewhere in the head.
At this point, I think this young man is far past crash-out. He's in full mental crisis, and somebody close to him need to get their hands on him, real soon.
yeah he's mentally unwell, and i guarantee you knowing the quality of our men in the locker room we have gone above and beyond to get him the help he needs, and i'm sure he has family and friend concerned but at the end of the day you simply cannot help someone who is unwilling 
the reality is we see the aldon situation and this is different but similar, just a guy out of his dang mind, what a shame
Cannot disagreed with you there. And for all we know people close to him just may be attempting to talk sense into him. But if that's the case it just proves my point. If people close to him are attempting to logically reach him (like I'm positive they have), and he's still operating like this, then something indeed has broken in him mentally.
At the end of the day, it's Bradon and his family that'll have pay the piper on this. It's just sad because this young man has a wife and child that depend on him fanatically. So "selfish" and "immature" can't explain this behavior.
Chicago needs to learn some people are just a*****es
he has had a lot of teammates and coaches over the years and I haven't seen someone close to him say they are worried and this is unusual for BA
BA received a lot of money and now he thinks he's untouchable
This take completely makes no sense at all. Him being an a$$hole don't explain behavior. If teammates and people close to him are worried about him (like I'm sure they are) what on earth makes you think they'll go public with their concerns unless he does something really drastic? And on what basis do you conclude that he thinks he's "untouchable"? But lets say you're right in that conclusion: given everything that's transpired since this saga began, wouldn't that belief be evidence of someone who's seriously out of touch with reality and in poor mental health?
I can think of several mental illness in which clinical delusions is a prominent symptom. Brandon could be in a manic phase of bipolar. I've seen this up close and personal in my own family. It looked just like this. By the time my family member finally got the help he needed he'd already lost his wife and kids, his career, his money (he wasn't rich), many friends, and damn-near went to prison.
