    I've read a lot of things that say he's a bonehead. Like Isaiah Rider level bonehead.

    When a couple of players single-handedly demolish a team's championship aspirations through a single act of stupidity people sometimes have a tough time letting that go. You can't really blame Pacer's fans for having this kind of reaction.

    It is just beyond me how the Pacers did zero homework on this guy.

    So you would be a lawyer if you were not in the NBA, Lance? Really?

    One of the best high school players to come out of New York City. Played at the same high school as Telfair and I think broke his scoring record there.

    In fairness they spent a mid-to-late 2nd round pick on him. Kind of worth the gamble all things considered.

    I have been a Pacer fan since elementary and it was not. Alot of bridges were burnt after our finals appearance. This just shows that the Bird management team still does not have a clue. Even if this guy was signed as a free agent, you still have to do a simple background check.

    Maris61, Nik was referring to the Pacers after the brawl in Detroit.

    2nd round pick. Cut the guy, no big deal.

    In 03, Indy was a serious contender in the east after winning 61 games. They were considered one of the top teams before they were decimated from suspensions after the Detroit brawl. Tinsley, Artest, Jackson, Jermaine, and more recently, Daniels, Shawne Williams, etc, etc all killed their reputation.

    Stephenson had issues while in high school. There's a reason a top prospect like him only had Cincinatti (fitting) after him. Bird should have done his due diligence before drafting him, and then signing him to multi-year contract (albeit, it's a very small $$ amount).

    To be fair, he had offers from Kansas, Maryland, Memphis, St. Johns and USC. Probably would have gone to Kansas if he hadn't waited so long in the recruiting process. They ended up signing Xavier Henry instead.

    I'm pretty sure that if the charges stick the Pacers can void his contract using the CBA's "ethics" clauses, but damn that team just can't shake the knucklehead image they've acquired ... funny enough, the "Jailblazers" transgressions pale next to some of the kinds of shit Pacers players have done (usually revolving around extreme violence of one sort or another).

    I don't know. There was some pretty serious stuff that happened with those "Jailblazer" teams. It seemed like every week in the news somebody was getting arrested or being investigated for doing stupid shit.
