    What is wrong with the players who end up in Portland? Maybe this is just PR to promote his upcoming movie?

    Why the hell do you need a LOADED gun on a team plane? Do they suck that bad in Portland, that they play childish games such as Air Marshals?

    [​IMG]Wouldn*t surprise me. Im still upset over drafting him. He*s a younger, less talented version of Damon Stoudemire. Get rid of Terrible Telfair. What a waste of roster space.

    Damn! It would be funny if he took it to the game so he could scare the other team.

    Wow, straight out of the Chris Webber school of excuses. Remember when Webber was busted with a sock full of weed? He said it was his girlfriend's and she must have accidentally put it in his suitcase.

    Besides, let's say it was his girlfriend's bag and gun. What the hell is he doing dating a girl who carries a loaded weapon around?

    He's got waaaay more talent than Stoudemire and this doesn't really compare to the kinda stuff his teamates have done even though its pretty dumb.

    You're saying having a lethal, loaded weapon on a plane after 9/11 isn't serious? This beats any drug allegations for sure.

    When he averages 20 and 9 over three seasons get back to me, until then he's just a kid struggling to win his starting spot back on what is currently the worst team in basketball.

    Talent means jack in the league if you don't have the work ethic to make the most of your talent. Sebastian Telfair is one of many players who listen to the wrong people and feel it's their right to be in the NBA.

    Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard.

    I'm real surprised.

    Bass' always seemed to have his head on straight.

    How does he listen to the wrong people, and Telfair has no work ethic? Please.

    He had to do what was best for his family. Entering the draft was a great idea.

    Where's his improvement since last season? Obviously the Blazers aren't convinced he's the future, they went out and brought in 3 point guards in the off-season. He's struggling to get minutes in Portland behind the likes of Jarrett Jack, Juan Dixon and Steve Blake.

    He's likely surrounded by too, many "yes" men. He was hyped since he was a teenager, but now that he's in the league, he's being exposed as just an average point guard not ready for a man's game.

    Entering the draft was a great idea, boarding a plane with a loaded gun was idiotic.
