NEW YORK – An advertisement featuring the NBA's two biggest superstars includes a gun reference, the same week two players were suspended for carrying firearms to the locker room.

I guess you can't make this stuff up.

Bryant's blurb says: "I'll do whatever it takes to win games. I don't leave anything in the chamber."

That's not what the chick in Colorado said.

Statists never seem to complain when jock-thugs glorify the misuse of firearms or appropriate terms from sidewalk commando language .

He left it in her chamber, and she got some cash for it in a settlement.

HAY-OH!

If this was an NHL ad, would there be any whining?

[PilotDave]

Ad might as well say “Yo, Kobe, I’m gonna pop a cap in yo ass!”

[b cool]

my question is...why can't they carry into their locker room? Doesn't break any moral, ethical, or legal rules in my book.

If this was an NHL ad, would there be any whining?

Only if the player mentioned, "sloppy seconds."

And they wonder why some of us call it Gangsta-ball.
