According to the book, by investigative reporter Jeff Benedict, "Out of Bounds: Inside the NBA's Culture of Rape, Violence & Crime." 40 percent of the American players in the NBA during the 2001-02 season had police records involving a serious crime.
I used to enjoy NBA basketball and had a real passion for the sport. But in recent years, the NBA has been taken over by thugs. Over 40% of NBA players have criminal records ranging from drugs to physical abuse. The role models are gone and the sport has less and less attendance.

The NBA will slowly dissolve itself. I stopped watching about 1995.

I find the assertion that 40% of the players have a "serious" criminal record unbelievable. Can he prove this stat? What does he count as "serious"? What does he count as a "police record"? Does getting questioned by the police as a witness to a crime count? Did these people have records before, during or after the 01-02 season?
I quit watching the NBA when the let the players take about 5 steps without calling them for traveling.

NBA players do have targets on their backs. I loved the game years ago and I still do. I'm sure if you look into it you'll find things like this in every sport. You wanna talk about thugs then lets talk hockey.

None of the Dallas Mavericks have any trouble with the law. If you don't like that kind of behavior, root for the good guys.
