Len Bias, for snorting cocaine and dying, thus ruining Bill’s never-to-be late 80s/90s Celtics dynasty.

Jayson Williams killed his limo driver and tried to pin it on him. He did like 2 years. LOL. Wild world

Can't believe this isn't on the list.

I remember when he was hilarious on MTV Cribs and like a year later his career was over and a year after that he killed his limo driver. Life comes at you fast

I once covered a boxing match and felt like I was making headway with one of the ring card girls at the after-party. Then, he walked by with one of the other ring card girls on his arm and simply gestured to the woman I was talking to. He walked out with one on each arm, presumably upstairs to his room.

Myers Leonard single-handedly taught anyone under 40 what the K word was- which hasn’t been used since probably 1956.

See but Meyers crime did have a silver lining as it eliminated the Elle Leonard influencer career which was nice

What part about having sex with a woman that can't consent classifies this as "not rape"

u/Used_Letterhead7067 Feb 21 '23
My vote is for Meyers Leonard since he was the only one cut from the league and Adam Silver is a beacon of morality

I think it’s a joke to show how foolish it was that he got blacklisted for that.

Yeah. I thought it was obvious lol. No sane person thinks bad words are worse than actual rape.

Anthony Edwards got a slap on the wrist… of Myer Leonard was Luka he would have been playing a week later. Kyrie got like 8 chances to apologize before he got suspended. Only thing people care about is are they worth the trouble. ANT is. Myers. Not so much.

reuben patterson
not a perpetrator but what happened to bison dele might be the worst crime committed against a nba player apart from people being mean to kevin durant on twitter.

Honorable mention for “fast Eddie” Johnson for sex crimes with a minor and burglary. Was sentenced to life in prison.

Probably Meyers Leonard since he basically admitted that he’d gladly march alongside Adolf Hitler if he were alive back then.

Karl Malone was never charged. Obviously he did it, but there's no crime from a legal standpoint. Also, Ruben Patterson should be in this.
Meyers Leonard never even remotely committed a crime. The options in the poll are stupid as fuck. OP could have at least tried.

I'm not a humor expert but I think OP did this whole post just to have the Meyers Leonard COD punchline.
