[raleigh]

Trivia question. What does Rafer and United States golden boy olymic swimmer Michael Phelps have in common?

Phelps was 19, Alston is 32.

I don't think these two situations are as comparable as you're making them out to be.

[Baller 24]

Not to mention PHELPS>>>>>>>>>ALSTON at life.

[Sloanfeld]

Should probably get a 2 gamer like Melo, eh?

Yeah that's true...Phelps broke the law twice considering he wasn't even legally old enough to drink.

dont drink and drive

the houston org better fine him a nice amount of money

'Fraid not Iggy. I've said that same thing both for friends of mine and people I know that I don't like. It's a legal philosophy thing. The person involved has nothing to do with my opinion on it, as all people are [allegedly hahahaha] equal under the law.

I'd like to ask though, can you definitively say that your hatred of Rafer's shooting inefficiency and "stupid decision making" isn't driving your negative bias on his actions? I can only see either that, or you wanting to troll me for some reason, as your motivation for making such a pair of one-sided and seeming poorly-evaluated statements.

For starters, you've never once in over an entire year explained how he's a criminal just because he was accused of a crime. Let's put this into perspective. *ahem*

[Legal Disclaimer: This accusation is for demonstration purposes only. Had this been an actual accusation, the proper authorities would already have been notified and be pummelling you mercilessly about the head and shoulders.]

You stole my car you criminal. Don't try and claim that you didn't, the only reason you think you can get away with it is because of the ridiculous double standards given to message board posters under the guise of anonymity. Just because you don't know who I am and I just got out of my car 3 minutes ago and am looking at it right now doesn't mean you didn't steal it. I'm sick of people like you getting away with things like this just because you're "message board posters." You're no different than the rest of us regular, decent, hardworking average Joes, so why should the fact that you're anonymous matter? GUILTY AS CHARGED! Next.

I am gonna be quite honest with you man. You are making this a little more deep than it is. Amel said it right. In our society its as simple as this. "Dont drink and drive". I am only being facetious when I talk about trading him based on this. I think we should get rid of Alston b/c it will be hard to win a championship with his poor shooting an nobody to come off the bench like an Eddie House to back him and make the open shots down the stretch.

But in regards to this...a hefty fine is probably what he will and should get.

Oh well crap and hah! Whoosh right past my head. I agree with both of those things.

(it's a little hard to tell you're being facetious via text when I've rarely, if ever, seen you give any indication that you're of a contrary opinion, but it's all good )

According to the Chronicle, in court Alston listed his address as Toronto, Canada. I wonder if he still has a home there, or if he's just too lazy to update his driver's license.

i'll rather live in Toronto than Houston during the summer (which is NBA offseason)

[jove9]

If he "lives" in Toronto in the off-season, what the hell is he doing drinking and driving in Houston?

Michael Phelps is the devil. Underage drinking AND drunk driving.
