Ah, good ol' Mr. Jackson. Dope, brawling at a strip club and gunshots. As the article states this is the fine, upstanding young gentleman who gave us 'Basketbrawl'.

He's also the one who bitched the loudest about the NBA banning jewelry claiming that it was racist. Mr Jackson, you s'pose it could have more to do with bling-bling's association with gangsta behavior?

Officers found a small amount of marijuana in the passenger side door of Pacer point guard Jamaal Tinsley's car, police said. Officers could not determine the car's driver or to whom the marijuana belonged, so no arrests were made.

lol, normally I'd think they'd arrest whosever car it was for possession. Wonder why not in this case...

fired a gun in the air in self-defense

You don't fire into the air if you're firing in self-defense, you fire into the air to act like a bad ass.

Jackson is talented but apparently difficult. Now he's not a little guy either. To be "tossed" on to the hood of a car is no small matter.

Tinsley is a good guy and may have defused that situation. He's a talented guy with more smarts than Jackson.

But I've seen how these things get started in the parking lot of these clubs. It's usually utterly stupid.

By the way the title of this article reads, it sounds as if Jackson was shooting toward the club, not firing into the air. I can't stand reporters who can't write a clear and concise headline or sentence.

WTF?!?!

Maybe they should try the OWNER of the car!

Don't we hear all the time on COPS that drivers are responsible for everything in their car?

I guess that doesn't apply if you play for the state's NBA team.

"...although Daniels' permit was issued by Florida."

Query?:

Why is there not a followup line that says, " ...and he was subsequently arrested fro having an unlicensed handgun and for transporting weapons across state lines."

Oh. I forgot. NBA

I am SO tired of the tabloid crap surrounding ALL pro sports! Which is why I have paid attention to no other sport than horseracing since 1980. The only scandals you find there are the occasional race-fixing (always in harness races) and occasional substance-abuse by jockeys who MUST keep their weight down. When you come down to it, jockeys are the true athletes, they face life and death whenever they get on a horse, and are moral and ethical ANGELS compared to these decadent clowns in (mostly) basketball and baseball.

Pacers' Jackson fires gun at strip club

And he missed! He can't hit the broad side of a strip club.

Just announced on IndyStar.com:

"Jackson will be charged with criminal recklessness, a felony. He will also be charged with battery and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors, said Roger Rayl, spokesman for Prosecutor Carl Brizzi."

They're also going to test a bag of marijuana found in another player's car for DNA.

Should Jackson's story be added to the Bang! list? He was shooting in self-defense and had a permit.
