Aaron McKie Arrested In The Nick Of Time
At 7.15 this morning, I finally finished completing a project that I started many moons ago - to try and comprehensively list the criminal records of all current NBA players, as well as some from the recent past. This shit took months, deviated a little at times, and was at other times really, really boring. The occasional interesting discovery made it worthwhile - for example, did you know that Jalen Rose was once arrested in a drugs bust, that Paul Millsap was once arrested for aggravated assault, and that Anthony Peeler once went to alcohol rehab? - but for the most part, it was a grind. Thankfully, though, I got it done.
Literally minutes after I had finished, I check the day's news, and found that Aaron McKie and Rasual Butler had been arrested on weapons charges only yesterday.
- McKie
- Butler
There might be something systematically wrong with this league, you know. Things things happn pretty regularly. Already this offseason, those two, Joakim Noah, Chris Wilcox and Carlos Powell have been arrested, and I may be forgetting others. That's....quite a lot of people.
Anyway, the resource is now there, and also here, so be sure to look at it, and go "oooooh!!", and then tell your friends about it, so that they too might partake in an "oooooh!!". Or something more apathetic, like a "meh". Either way, it's a syllable. As with everything, 100% success and comprehensive is not guaranteed, but it IS pretty bitching. Submit any oversights to the usual address.

McKie's a great guy. It was just a misunderstanding, that's all. Same deal with basketball greats like Lonnie Baxter and Rasual Butler. Come to america, MD, and see that its not all about brandishing weapons in public. Its about getting away with it.
McKie got arrested? Oh no! That Gasol trade just totally blew up in the Grizzlies' faces!!!
They waived McKie last month. That must be what turned Aaron to a life of crime. God, what an awful franchise. Ruining Aaron McKie's life like that.
I'm not sure if Interloper is being sardonic or not, but Aaron McKie does have a reputation of being a good guy. When McKie won the 2001 6th Man award, the usually brusque and mean-spirited Philadelphia media gave McKie a standing ovation during a press conference. It should also be noted that he has sole custody of his 2 daughters, in spite of the protection-from-abuse order (this order included his daughter) back in 2001. Much of Philadelphia is a war zone. Google John Whitehead and you'll understand.
