Chilling. Menendez Brothers Appeared in the Background of Knicks Basketball Card
Mark Jackson NBA Hoops trading card.
"Twitter is buzzing over an unearthed basketball card that shows the Menendez brothers courtside at a Knicks game in between murdering their parents and the eventual arrest.
On the card, Lyle and Eric Menendez can be seen immediately to the left of former New York Knicks guard Mark Jackson. Sports business analyst Darren Rovell pointed out that the timeline of the photo matches up with the few months the brothers spent blowing through their family's wealth before being apprehended. "

Honestly it's not that big of a deal. It's just a famous story. Honestly, there are killers around you all the time and you might not know. You think dudes in the hood kill people and do nothing else? They go to games, clubs, and anywhere else

Very creepy and interesting.
Couple years ago this guy got ejected from the ECF and was executed a couple weeks later in Toronto.

What if you someone took a pic of yourself playing b-ball and the two brothers just happened to be behind you watching? Most of us wouldn't believe you unless someone credible verified it.
These guys were some spoiled rotten kids who committed cold-blooded murder or were horrendously abused. It's a strange story by itself.

Its def an unlikely happenstance. I think its fascinating that they were captured on a bball card and we're just now finding out about it. Its a cool story for sure.
But unless we find out the brothers were there to claim Mark as their first victim, there's nothing chilling about it at all. Two guys who eventually committed crimes apparently spent their lives doing normal stuff like attending games. I don't see whats creepy about them just existing on the planet earth pre-murder.
Did you think I just missed the huge pic in the OP? I don't get why you posted it again.

Maybe he was holier than thou until that day, but they swaped bodies that day? Hey, I've seen stranger things on TV
