hehe cool topic, oh and did anyone notice that of those 18 players are 3 from philly

I thought Joe Smith was cleared of those charges, and it was a case of mistaken identity...or was that another incident?

Wtf?Nba players=rapists?
Kobe may go to jail for life but others just had to pay fines or do certain amount of socaty duty(sp?)

Chancey Billups:
Sued by a woman (1997) after he had raped her with a (then) team mate (Ron Mercer).
Billups and Mercer then payed the woman an unknown amount of money.
The raping had been done at Antoine Walkers home.

now thats weird story.
so many nba players are rapers.

You'd think they would just get Hookers.

I can't confirm or reject any accuse, so probably you're right.

I wonder why's that too? I mean they all got so much money that it shouldn't be a problem to get laid!

Ron Artest:
Took a camera from a cameraman after a lost (in january 2003) and through it down on the ground several times.
Was closed from the NBA in 3 games and had to pay a high fine.
In the beginning of April he had to pay another fine after he had given the Cleveland audience the finger.

getting fined or suspended by the nba for these actions... not considered criminal

That's fine, but I think once I read about Artest being sued by his ex-gf... Think he beat her up...

This is an interesting topic, finally you did something worth looking than showing your fucked-up thumb j/k

Kurt Thomas is really a loser... Beating on his wife while she was with their 3 children? What a loser.

Rod Strickland is one of the most troublemakers players in the league... When he had the game to back it up, fine... Now that he's washed up, no team wanna give him a chance.

That Tony Battie episode was sick... He coulda gone to jail because of that.

hehe but u forgot J-Richardson,Darrel Armstrong,Rash""WEED" Wallace, and Damon Stoudamire

Chancey Billups:
Sued by a woman (1997) after he had raped her with a (then) team mate (Ron Mercer).
Billups and Mercer then payed the woman an unknown amount of money.
The raping had been done at Antoine Walkers home.

Man, I laughed so hard at the punch line.

On a serious note, I think it's pretty sad that professional athletes can get out of sticky situations just by waving around cash.

it's not like they all rape a bunch of girls...
it's just that when they are on the road, they will get approached by a whole lot of beautiful women. and several of them will end up having sex with them.
and some of those women think that they can get some quick/easy money by claming that the player raped them. + they got their 'five minutes of fame'...

hehe. that story with Chancey Billups was funny...



edit: "sportbladet den 13april" hehe. varför postade du den nu? typ 6 månader efter?

T-Mac must've been serious when he got mad at the owner of the Magic for signing Juwan Howard

Maybe T-Mac don't want to get herpes too?

LOL!

No wonder T-Mac is captain

If C-Webb got drafted by Orlando and he was still here to this day....god knows what

"The Magic Have signed Juwan Howard"

T-Mac: OH NO FIRST C-WEBB NOW JUWAN HOWARD

Haha, haahaha... hahaha... ha, I get it! You're very funny

And yes, I AM in a very cynical mood (but then again, you're not funny, old school fool)

Wat with NBA players and chick bashing or raping??

I don't get it! They bash their wives, girlfriends...they rape chicks either alone or in a pair??? Wats wrong with them...they have enough money for 20 prostitutes a night...wats wrong with them?? BTW...they also rape teenagers too! (Only one..Deshawn you nasty bugger!)

I picked up a trend in there.
the word Rape used so many times.
whats going on.
it seems a little too odd for me.
these nba players with all there fame and etc. keep getting convicted with rape.
think about it people.

maybe there are a lot of attention seeking women out there. ???

just seems a lil bit suss

May be sentenced to prison for life

Lets get real.

The DC pissing incident cracked me up.

19 isn't as bad is I would have thought.

He "Peed" Instead of saying "He pissed" or "He shot his urine everywhere in a resteraunt" i think "He Peed" sounds very very very Funny

Fuck it, i'll change it.
So you can be happy

Man a bit off topic, but slam, your thumb is odd lol
