Second round draft pick, a multi-million dollar contract and 19 years old. This kid should be falling to his knees and thanking God and everyone else he can think of for this opportunity, instead he does this.

Hope this isn't a pattern in his life, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct for groping a girl is usually lawyer speak for he tried to rape her but it was a he said she said with no witnesses so he plead guilty on a misdemeanor charge.

I thought Larry Byrd had more brains than his name implies, he should have known this kid was trouble and it's exactly what Indianapolis doesn't need right now.

Still, Stephenson "should not have put himself in the position he was in early Sunday morning," the former Boston Celtics great added. "We have consistently emphasized to our players the importance of not putting themselves in situations where bad things can happen."

Good luck with that, Larry.

Yea, the Pacers and the Colts just keep getting in trouble. On second thought, it’s all of them.

Of course now, some Freeper will come along and tell me that I’m using the word “all” and it just simply isn’t all of them. Agreed. But fire away anyway.

How much longer before they actually allow tackles and head slaps in the NBA?

Hey, who cares, as long as he can “play good ball”??

Hell, they’ll let someone who brutally kills dogs play again. This is nothing!

Did Larry change the spelling of his last name recently in honor of the passing of the senator from West Virginia?

the problem is they pull a majority of these kids literally from the projects. These kids have grown up knowing nothing but violence and then people are shocked when they get violent. I am not saying this kid is a victim of his surroundings, he should be held responsible and go to jail. I am saying that people should take into consideration ones background and realize what they are potentially getting besides someone with a decent jumper.

I dont watch NBA at all, and the NFL much either because frankly they’ve become nothing more than thug sports and all they are is glorified in the media.

This reminds me of a scene from an old movie of the late 40’s where Richard Widmark as a psycho criminal pushed a woman in a wheel chair down a flight of stairs.

First. This young hood does not acknowledge God. The biggest problem.

Second. This hood has been coddled since the day someone found out he could play basketball. Every whim has been indulged. Just look at the high school career of LeBron James and the corrupt judge that let his school off the hook for being given Hummers and other fine things.

These hoods have no ethics or morals because they were never instilled with them by either their family or coaches/schools/managers.

Acting impulsively with no thought or care about the future consequences. This is not caused by “White racism.”
