OMG!!!! NBA players acting like criminals? Say it isn’t so! Next thing you know they’ll be coming down with AIDs.
The NBA has done its very best over the years to ignore the fact that it’s really the other way around; criminals acting like basketball players? How could they ever have gotten that way? Could it be that, because they could bounce a ball and put it through a hoop, they never had to conjugate a verb, pay tuition, or actually pass a test in high school or college? What could be the reason that over 40% of NBA players have arrest records?
As for records, Artest can add the latest to his “how not to be a role model” resume:
