As is well known, wherever there are people, there will be an underworld, right? Watching dramas, I've seen that even in the slums of the United States, there are many criminal organizations. If you don't have a powerful backing, you're likely to be bullied! Especially considering that most NBA players grew up in the impoverished areas of the United States, many of them have some connection to the underworld, more or less. How can they survive? So, are there famous NBA stars in history with a criminal background? Today, let's take a look at five famous stars.
Fifth, Rose
The first to enter the league, Rose won a large number of fans in the NBA. Unfortunately, his career peaked and then quickly declined due to injuries. Rose showed basketball talent from a young age. His two brothers made great efforts to protect him. In order to avoid being tainted by society, he established his own power, making Rose someone you wouldn't dare mess with on and off the court. Sometimes, when asked about this in media interviews, Rose strongly denied his brothers' actions, but all Chicagoans know that Rose indeed has a powerful criminal background.
Fourth, Randolph
Young fans may not know much about Randolph, but many old fans are familiar with this name. Their glorious period in their careers was with the Grizzlies. The combination of the black and white bears, led by Marc Gasol, was a formidable style that no team in the league wanted to face at the time. However, Randolph built his own power off the court. As a gang boss, Randolph was also investigated by the police for involvement in drugs and violence. Moreover, due to gang conflicts, Randolph's brother, Roger Randolph, was also eliminated by enemies. Randolph may look foolish on the court, but he actually has a very chaotic gang background off the court.
Third, Pierce
As a famous player for the Celtics, when we talk about Pierce, many fans may think of the story of him going to a bar, drinking, and getting into a conflict involving 11 stabbings. Therefore, it's not difficult to detect a gang atmosphere, and indeed, it has been proven. Pierce often made an inverted gesture during games, and you may not know that this is actually a gang gesture. Therefore, Pierce did not receive fines from the league.
Second, Anthony
Everyone is probably familiar with the Melo's story about being associated with the streets. Saying that he has a gang background, no one should doubt it. After all, Melo grew up in the most dangerous area of Baltimore in the United States. If he didn't have good relations with local gangs, he probably wouldn't have survived. Either join them or leave. So, Melo hung out with various gangs when he was young, and many of his playmates became gang members. Melo found it hard to go alone. You should remember the news about Melo leading tens of thousands of people to the streets and helping LeBron resolve the issue. Melo's strong presence is closely related to his background.
First, Pekovic
This is the real gang boss. If the mentioned individuals above are ruthless characters, then all of them, including Anthony, are small nobles in front of Pekovic. During his player days, Pekovic, nicknamed the ""Big White Bear,"" played for the Timberwolves. Although his career was unremarkable, it is well known that he played basketball purely as a personal hobby. Last season, he was still a key player for the team, and in the next season, he announced his retirement, surprising everyone. But the fact is, he wanted to return home to inherit the gang business. His family is the largest gang in Montenegro, so Pekovic is the true underworld boss hidden in the NBA. |
