    Not a new incident, just the final consequences of the one in Boston.

    McHale seems to be ok with it.

    Bassy is a good guy. He was just a kid with a ton of expectations placed on him.

    I wish the kid well - but unfortunately, he suffers from the John Nash draft syndrome - taken too high...

    He was stupid to plead guilty.

    The law is unconstitutional and will soon be overturned.

    More importantly, hopefully he got rid of his murse. The gun I didn't mind as much as the man purse in which it was concealed.

    I thought Bassy could've been a nice player in the league, quick as hell, good vision, and could blow anyone, but guess he was just another wasted John Nash experiment. Just t0o small, doesn't play good D, shaky jump shot and can't finish at the rim.

    I think he could still help a team. What is he 22?

    Didn't something similar to this happen his rookie season involving a girl he was dating?

    I liked bassy when he first came out, but he is showing me more and more everyday that he is Marbury's cousin.

    He brought a gun on the team plane his 2nd year with the team. Claimed he grabbed his girl's man purse instead of his!

    Yeah thanks, that's what it was. Foolish if true but he was probably lying.
