Ex-NBA player Sebastian Telfair has a meltdown in court after he's sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison after being found with three loaded handguns and a gas-powered submachine gun in his vehicle during a traffic stop

• Sebastian Telfair, 34, started shouting and crying in a Brooklyn courtroom on Monday after the judge handed down his years-long prison sentence
• He said, 'Please don't take me from society right now,' and told the court he is being convicted of a victimless crime
• Officers pulled over Telfair in the early morning on June 11, 2017 after they said Telfair failed to turn his headlights on
• They arrested Telfair and his passenger after smelling weed in their pickup truck
• The officers searched the vehicle and found three loaded handguns, a submachine gun, extended magazines, ammunition and a ballistic vest
• Telfair said he had a Florida license to carry the guns, but didn't have a license too carry them in New York
• A first-round pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, Telfair is the cousin of former All-Star point guard Stephon Marbury

3.5 years not that bad tho fpr that kind of heat. If he never had an NBA check he would be getting 25 to life.

basketball players are not gangsters.

they just get caught up with the wrong crowd.

careful what kind of energy you attract in your life.

3.5 years seems a bit much.

I was a big fan of Bass. I really thought he had "it", but that jump shot just never developed. His handles and vision were great. It just proved to me at a young age that just because a guy looks like he has it all doesn't mean it will translate to the NBA.

Just wow.

Judge would of went easy on him if he only head 1 weapon. Not an army of supplies. Dude was absolutely dumb.

He was just playing call of duty. What did delonte west get for playing Desperado when he played with LeBron?

[TommieGunshot]

Is the gun rights crowd bothered by this, or have they come around and accepted that states can make up their own laws about these things?

[krk1030]

Was he on his way to a war zone?

Read this on Hoopshype just now...

In a Manhattan courtroom, the former NBA point guard was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for gun possession. When the verdict was read, Telfair lost his mind.“Please don’t take me from society right now,’’ begged the former Lincoln HS star. “I am 34. I can go play in China for six years and take care of my family. I’m waiting for my daughter right now to get her period. Real mental illness because I wasn’t around … She hasn’t even gotten her period yet.” ‘Put a gun in his hand and fight for us n—- … I go to the gun store. I got an AMX,’ he added. – viatotalprosports.com



Think his daughter might be better off.
