Raymond Felton arrested for gun, was it his?

Raymond Felton Gun Trouble?

New York Knick Raymond Felton was arrested early Tuesday morning for possessing an unlicensed firearm in his Manhattan apartment. Making things worse, when the handgun was recovered by police, loaded with 18 rounds of live ammunition, according to prosecutors, and had a 20-round magazine, triggering a felony violation. In New York State, it is a misdemeanor to possess an unlicensed handgun in your home, and anyone doing so faces up to one year of imprisonment. If Raymond Felton  is found guilty of the felony count of illegal possession of an extended magazine, he is likely going to serve real jail time, and never be aloud to play in the NBA. While earlier reported Raymond Felton's wife said, that he threatened her with a firearm. Felton returned to practice Wednesday and will play in Thursday's road game against Miami Heat, Felton might also choose to take a voluntary leave from the team. Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Raymond was focused on basketball at practice. He said he did not know all the details surrounding Felton's legal situation but added there was never any internal discussion about sitting him for a few games. Lucky for Raymond he is still able to play, most coaches in the NBA would not tolerate that. Raymond said, "I'm here to concentrate on this team, finish this season out with the New York Knicks and see what happens, man,Trying to make it to the playoffs. We're 5 and a half games out of 25 games left, so I'm really focusing on that with these guys, with the team and trying to make that happen."I believe that Raymond cought himself in a major situation, who knows if his wife and him were going threw problems, or maybe he really did threatend her. If I was in Raymond's shoes I personally would have never even had bought a gun, not that there isn't anything wrong with owning a gun, it's just that he was probably going threw some problems with his wife and she decided to say he pointed a gun at her.

Jason Collins Makes A Come Back

Jason Collins Is Back
Jason Collins makes a come back to the NBA becoming the first openly gay athlete to play in the NBA. Sunday he played 12 minutes in the Brooklyn Nets' win over the Los Angeles Lakers.Jason Collins missed his only field goal attempted and did not score, but played nearly seven minutes in the fourth quarter and showed he can still play defense and set bruising screens that free up his teammates. Jason Collins held news conferences before and after Sunday night's game, which was something different for a player who has been a player in the NBA for 12 seasons. His return to the NBA after revealing him being openly gay has been a distraction to his teammates. Brooklyn point guard Deron Williams, said that he was proud to be a part of a historic night but ultimately didn't think it felt all that different from any other game that he has played in. Deron Williams says, "I'm happy for him, I know he's been sitting around waiting for a job, so I'm happy to see him on a team and happy that he's on our team. As some players are happy for him to be on the team, not all fans are happy forhim to be on the team saying things about him coming out. Even though he is the first NBA  player to be openly gay, he's still proved that he can playthe lock down defense that he is known for. Brooklyn Nets head coach Jason Kidd played with Jason Collins in New Jersey from 2001-08, making it to the NBA Finals. The Nets signed Collins to a 10-day contract Sunday morning, Collins wore jersey number 46 in Sunday's game but will wear number 98 for the remainder of his time with the Nets. Because of the speed with which he was signed Sunday, there wasn't time to prepare that jersey number in time for tipoff. Jason Collins wears the number 98 is in honor of Matthew Shepard, a University of Wyoming student who died in a notorious anti-gay hate crime in 1998. Collins has worn the jersey number with both the Celtics and Wizards in previous seasons.

Would Lebron Be Foolish Enough To Leave The Heat?

Would Lebron Be Foolish Enough To Leave The Heat?

Lebron James is a smart enough player to know that his future lies with the Heat, but free agency is definitelly a major concern for alot of Miami fan's. Nobody really knows what Lebron has in mind, after what he did to the Cavs back in 2010. In 2010 Lebron was put into free agency, several teams were interested including the Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets, and Cavaliers. On July 8, he announced on a live ESPN special titled The Decision that he would sign with the Heat. The telecast, broadcast from the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich, Connecticut, raised $2.5 million for the charity and an additional $3.5 million from advertisement. I think it was a bone headed move for him to broadcast his decision, fans from all over especially including Cleveland were furious. I remember people burning his jersey's in the streets off Cleveland, he got a lot of death threats, there was so much hatered towards Lebron. Cleveland fans were hurt but eventally got over it, there starting to rebuild for what they hope to be the return of Lebron James.  Personally I believe that Lebron will stay with the Miami Heat, he doesn't want what happend to Cleveland happen to Miami. In his first season in Miami, the Heat reached the Finals but lost to the Mavericks. James won his first championship in 2012 when Miami defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, being named the Finals MVP Award for his outstanding playing. In 2013, he led the Heat on a 27-game winning streak, the second longest in league history. Miami also won their second consecutive title and he repeated as Finals MVP. His career achievements and leadership role he plays for Miami leaves without a doubt that he will stay. Lebron is by far one of the best, if not the best player in the NBA. Lebron has to much going on in Miami, hes on the run for his third NBA championship in a row! Lebron will eventally go to free agency but I do not think that will be anytime soon. If he heads into free agency then he will most likely go back to the Cav's, where he was drafted and raised in Cleveland.
