OT: Blake Griffin charged with battery. Going to jail?

[KingSpeed]

Misdemeanor. Max sentence is 6 months in jail. What were they doing in Vegas? Not focusing on basketball while their team is in freefall.

Nah just a slap on the wrist. He could get a lawsuit against him for coinage though

 

[Sinobas]

Is the NBA going to be harsh on things like this like the NFL is? They forced a guy out for saying some things on the phone....what will they do for assault?

Hahahahahaha a big name celebrity getting a max sentence.

"...squeezing Schuman's hand and shoulder and/or slapping him on the face."

Sorry, but there's no comparison between what Blake allegedly did and what's been going on in the NFL.
While I don't condone violence, this should not even be wasting the time of the judicial system. (Though if it happened to me I'd be trying to cash in, too!)

Good.

It happened last month.

Anywho, they should throw the book at him and send him to jail for the maximum sentence.

They throw a book at him, it'll miss but he'll toss himself on the ground and wail in agony anyways.

In a bizarre double ruling the court finds that it is hereby legal for Blake Griffin to flop and he shall not be subject to any penalty from the NBA.
