Another thug that doesn't deserve another chance.
Larry Bird will not tolerate this type behavior; so good bye and good riddens to Lance Stevenson. He wan't that good anyhow. All hype, no substance.
The NBA needs to weed out thugs like Stevenson and send them packing. Within a year so, Stevenson will be in jail on drug charges or some other assault charge. That's just the way it is with these ghetto trash players.
He and his posse think more of his talents than the scouts. Now, Lance will find out how cruel the world can be and how stupid he actually is. Once a thug, always a thug.
You would think he learned something from college; however, Cincinnati is not known for Rhode Scholars and actually graduates something like 35% of its athletes.
Six months house arrest and probation with 30 hours of community service. Isn't that what the NBA rules are for such felons?
I am the Uncle of Mr.Stepheson's girlfriend and I ,am no one to judge but ,the thruth is that is such. a shame the this so called phenomenons can throw away such a great opportunity, just for the mear fact that ,they do not know how to control their anger and never get rid of their ugly attitude
I just hope that Mr.Bird keeps his word on his policy of not tolerating this type of behavior,which tarnished the image of his team, I guess the only talent Mr.Stepheson have is hitting and abusing women specially the mother of his child, what a waste of talent. I feel really bad for my niece and hope she recovers pretty soon physically and also mentally. Thank you
William; I feel extremely sorry for your niece; she didn't deserve this type of treatment. No man has the right to strike a woman, no matter how privileged he thinks he is. Lance has just thrown away his one chance of playing in the NBA. Hope he likes Europe because that's the only place he'll be playing for the rest of his career. And, maybe the European's won't touch him as they don't like men beating on women. Show's no class and no intelligence.
