This is from a old newspaper that I decided to show, it lists 18 nba players (+Kobe) who has a criminal past and what they have done (Dahl, du kanske såg den här artikeln också, sportbladet den 13april). Sorry about the bad translation, anyway here it goes. Prepare to be shocked!

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

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 (Y) 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.

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... :lol:



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

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
