[gametime]

Coney Island basketball star Lance Stephenson - a second-round Indiana Pacers pick in the June NBA draft - was busted Sunday for pushing his girlfriend down a flight of stairs, cops said.

 

Stephenson, 19, a legendary player at Brooklyn's Abraham Lincoln High School, roughed up Jasmine Williams, 21, in the stairwell of her Brooklyn apartment building about 5 a.m., according to police.

 

The 6-foot-5 rookie point guard's blows sent Williams tumbling head-first down 10 steps, requiring her to be treated at a hospital for injuries to her head and neck, cops said.

Stupid. Stupid. Beyond stupid. Hard to change perception with crap like this...

What a shame...what a waste.

Spending time in NYC is flat out poison for Lance. You know Bird is simply not going to put up with anything like this...

What a pathetic waste of space.

Hard to get people to think the previous girl lied (if my memory is correct) when you follow it up with this.

Agree totally. He was a good dude while he was here, but every time he went back things went off the tracks. This time might be the one that sends him back there for good...

Perception or reality?

Perception or reality?

 

Looking a lot more like reality now. He was two totally different people while he was at UC. Perception while here and reality when he went home...

I'm told the woman in question is his long time girlfriend and mother of his daughter. I'm also hearing there isn't much gray area in what happened and Lance is in it knee deep. Stupid doesn't even begin to describe this...

Some people just don't get it.
