The NBA needs to have a school to teach common decency.

Most of the players in the NBA go to college for 4 years; that is the basketball minor league system. If college can't provide a background in decency, a 2-day Ru Paul seminar won't make it better.

“Breaking into the wrong house” is becoming a common post-mortem excuse.

Now, who smashes in their own front door because the key won’t fit?

One of those things that makes you go hmmmm......

The problem is that most of the NBA stars barely do 1 year of college now before jumping to the pros. they are just putting in the mandatory 8 months now required by the NBA before a player is eligible for the draft. At one point you could jump directly to the pros from high school as was the case with Kobe and Lebron.

That only is true for a top level talent. This clown was not one of those.

I’d guess his IQ was lower than his points per game average.

Well, I guess it would depend upon who was doing the kicking...

We are not talking adolescent fantasies that 100% will. Not. Happen. To. You.

It’s not an adolescent fantasy.

It’s a dirty old man fantasy.

I’m just barely old enough to be her father. But still young enough to be her Daddy.

I would say so. Anyone with an IQ higher than two knows that you are asking for it if you kick in someone's door and enter, knowing that about one out of two American's are ARMED in their homes.

Also, if you have more than two brain cells to rub together, can figure that the homeowner/occupant will NEVER be prosecuted for shooting someone dead who has entered their residence after kicking in their doors (in most states at least - Texas for sure).

I nominate Bryce Dejean-Jones as today’s Darwin award winner.

Kicking in the door of someone’s residence at 3:30am will not likely end well for you.
