Prosecutors have charged 19 alleged Brooklyn gang members in connection with “senseless” shootings and “execution-style” homicides — that earned the shooters NBA nicknames, including “Shaq” and “Curry,” authorities said Wednesday.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said the alleged “900 Gang” members, some of whom were just 16-years-old, were believed to have played a part in two murders and 10 non-fatal shootings over the last two years.

They only name themselves after black NBA players and then shoot other blacks? Where is the outrage NBA? Your players denounce the police and say Black Lives Matter, Equality or those other cute sayings that you have authorized, but grow some... basketballs.

Did any of the thugs take the name Gilbert Arenas or Jarvis Crittenden?

Gonzalez said the nicknames, such as “Shaq,” “Kobe,” “Curry,” “Westbrook,” and “Harden,” allegedly signified their status as shooters.
