OT: Rex Chapman in trouble with the law

[elindholm]

Evidently the Apple store will overlook eight thefts, but don't press your luck and go back for a ninth time.

Somewhere, Vitas Gerulaitis is smiling.

 

[Covert Rain]

I wonder if this is a recent manifestation or the reason why he was let go from his most recent jobs in the NBA?!?

 

[elindholm]

If he were a kleptomaniac, he'd probably be hoarding them, not selling them at 40% value. My guess is that he's desperate for money.

Only the Suns could lose a series clinching game at home after his miracle shot against Seattle.

Yep, my guess is drug money. So sad.

How desperate he must have been. It is so obvious that he would be caught in time.

This is what makes it so sad. That it was inevitable he would get caught.

The pawn shop could lose the money they paid for these items and technically could be charged with possession of stolen property.

I never would have thought it, thats 2-3 swipes per trip, he didnt even average 1 steal a game with the Suns.

 

[JCSunsfan]

It is a sad story. Sometime, back a few years ago, he thought he was invincible and he could do it once or twice and could quit whenever he wanted.

It makes me fear for my own kids. This world is such a place of temptation and potential destruction.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Keeping up with former Suns players; Sean Marks is named Spurs assistant GM.

We probably just need an ongoing thread about the successes and failures of former Suns players.

BTW. Did anyone see the Icky Woods Geico commercial. Wow. Makes me feel better about myself. Age has a way of being the great equalizer.

 

[Superbone]

Might be mostly a gambling issue:

[AZCrazy]

He's more likely to be brazen about his attempts at theft if Moose and Rocko are about to bust his kneecaps otherwise.

Not Sexy Rexy!!!!

We can't have heroes anymore!

So sad. I mean....I loved that guy when he was here. It's amazing what drastic turns someone's life can take.

 

[Iceman]

Never in a million years would I think this about him when he was playing

Prescription pain killers don't cause amnesia. I have a hard time feeling anything for people who refuse to take accountability.
