OT - Carmelo arrested for DUI 

Post#1 » by blix » Mon Apr 14, 2008 6:21 pm

This may get moved, but since Denver is looming as a possible 1st round matchup, I believe it's relevant.

How does the NBA typically handle this stuff, anyone know?

What a great role model.... How can you do something like this so close to playoff time when your team is battling to even make it? A whole city is counting on you as the best player to lead them and your out getting drunk... AND DRIVING.... what an idiot

This guy is a real Jerk. I am sure he has plenty of money to have a driver take him on a night on the town. He is such a talent and will risk everything including him image (whats left of it).

Easy guys while he has not done too many model citizen things in the past, the guy looks up to Kobe Bryant and they supposedly have a Big Brother LIttle Brother relationship. Not that this should excuse him, but he is young and people tend to make mistakes. I am sure he will live and learn.

Ok,

well Drunk driving IMO is bad because of the potential for hurting or killing others and its not something I support in the slightest.

That being said, he made a mistake, he is allowed due process. He is lukcy nobody got hurt and its best to just move on.

Don't know, blix, but I sure would like to know because he knows how to punk Odom all night long. If he's out for any of the possible games against us, that's a big break for us.

What an idiot.

Blix,
I think with all arrests. The NBA does their punishment after the legal verdict is handed down.

I dont see any thing happening from the League anytime soon....

I think Sasha is afraid more than Odom is.

Certainly not what Denver wanted coming down the wire and Lakers looming as first round opponet.
