The NBA has a dark side that very few people know about. In this blog post, we explore the murder that took place during the 2017 NBA season

The NBA’s Darkest Secret: Murder

The NBA has a long-standing reputation as a league of criminals. In the past twenty years, there have been over 400 players arrested for various crimes, ranging from theft and drug possession to assault and murder.

One of the most shocking recent cases is the murder of beloved former player, Piston’s center Lorenzen Wright In 2010, Wright was found dead in a wooded area in Memphis, Tennessee. His body was so badly decomposed that authorities could not immediately determine the cause of death. After an investigation, police determined that Wright had been shot to death.

Wright’s ex-wife, Sherra Wright was charged with his murder in 2017 and is currently awaiting trial. If convicted, she faces up to life in prison.

The NBA has long been plagued by crime, but the murder of Lorenzen Wright is one of the darkest secrets in the league’s history.

The victim’s story

In 2003, NBA player Lorenzen Wright was brutally murdered. His body was found in a field in Memphis, Tennessee, and the case remains unsolved. Lorenzen’s ex-wife, Sherra Wright, has been charged with his murder, but she has not yet been convicted.

Lorenzen’s story is a tragic one, and it highlights the dark side of the NBA. Unfortunately, Lorenzen is not the only player to have been killed in recent years

In 2012, former NBA player Thomas Robert Wayman was shot and killed during a robbery attempt. Wayman had been working as a youth basketball coach at the time of his death.

In 2014, former NBA player Jabar Gaffney was shot and killed during an apparent robbery. Gaffney had recently retired from the NBA and was working as a commentator for ESPN at the time of his death.

These are just a few examples of the many tragedies that have befallen former NBA players While the vast majority of players are able to lead successful lives after their playing days are over, it is clear that there is a dark side to the NBA that often goes untold.

The murderer’s story

On July 18, 2003, NBA Star Sebastian Telfair was driving his SUV in Brooklyn when he ran a red light and collided with another car. Telfair’s 13-year-old cousin, Amani Toomer, was killed in the crash.

Telfair was charged with manslaughter, but the charges were later dropped. However, the families of bothToomer and Telfair say that the real story is much darker than what was reported.

Toomer’s family alleges that Telfair deliberately ran the red light, intending to kill Amani. They say that Telfair was angry at Amani for telling Sebastian’s girlfriend that he had been cheating on her.

Telfair’s family has said that the Toomers are only looking for a payday and that Sebastian is innocent. However, the Toomers say they will never stop fighting for justice for Amani.

The NBA’s response

The NBA has long been plagued by rumors of crime and violence. In recent years these rumors have been substantiated by a number of high-profile cases, including the murder of rapper XXXTentacion. The NBA has tried to downplay these incidents, but the reality is that it has a serious problem with crime and violence.

The most recent incident occurred on January 6th, 2020, when well-known basketball player Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash. Bryant was traveling with eight other people, including his daughter Gianna, when the helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, California. All nine people on board were killed.

Bryant’s death sent shockwaves through the Basketball World and beyond. He was one of the most popular and accomplished players in the history of the sport, and his untimely death has left many fans grieving.

In response to Bryant’s death, the NBA released a statement condemning violence and vowing to support victims’ families. However, some have criticized the league for its past handling of player misconduct, arguing that it has not done enough to address its crime problem.

Only time will tell if the NBA can make good on its promise to support victims’ families and address its crime problem. For now, though, it remains one of the darkest secrets of the league.

The victim’s family’s response

The National Basketball Association (NBA) has a dark secret, one that it has kept hidden for years. That secret is murder.

On October 2, 1984, Bernard King, then a player for the New York Knicks shot and killed his wife, Carol Gibson-King. The couple’s two young children were in the house at the time of the shooting, and they witnessed their mother’s murder.

King pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. He was paroled in 2003 and currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

The NBA has never acknowledged King’s crime, and his name is not included in the league’s official list of players who have been suspended or banned from the league. The only mention of King in the NBA’s official history book is a brief mention of his arrest for domestic violence in 1983, which predated the murder.

TheNBA’s silence on King’s crime is deafening, and it begs the question: why?

The simple answer is that the NBA does not want to confront its dark past. The league has a long history of players being involved in criminal activity, including violence against women.Acknowledging King’s crime would force the NBA to confront its own history of turning a blind eye to player misconduct.

While the NBA may want to forget about Bernard King and his crime, Carol Gibson-King’s family will never be able to forget what happened to their wife and mother. In an interview with ESPN, Carol’s sister Denise Johnson said that “the pain never goes away.”

“We think about her every day,” Johnson said. “It doesn’t matter how many years have passed.”

The murderer’s family’s response

The families of the victims of murdered NBA players responded to the murder in different ways. For some, it was a time to reflect on their loved ones and the happy times they spent together. Others used the opportunity to demand justice for their loved ones. And still others used the murders as a way to //call out// the NBA for what they saw as a dark secret that the league had been hiding.

The NBA’s investigation

The NBA’s investigation into the murder of their star player Kobe Bryant has uncovered a dark secret that the organization has been keeping for years. It turns out that the murder was not an isolated incident, but part of a wider pattern of violence and crime within the league. For years, the NBA has been turning a blind eye to these problems, and it is only now that they are being forced to face up to them.

The league has been accused of covering up these crimes, and of failing to provide adequate support to the families of those who have been killed. The NBA has denied these accusations, but with the investigation ongoing, it remains to be seen how much longer they can keep this dark secret hidden.

The victim’s family’s lawsuit

The victim’s family’s lawsuit alleges that the NBA knew about injuries to the player and failed to take action to protect him. The suit also alleges that the NBA did not provide adequate medical care for the player after he was injured.

The murderer’s sentencing

The murderer, who was a professional basketball player was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The victim’s family is still grieving and struggling to come to terms with what happened.
