This Can’t Possibly Be True … Can It? NBA Player Robbed, Orders Hit on Rapper?

Danny Ainge, how are you? Get your morning coffee? Marvelous. Need a croissant? Grab one of those. Perhaps a blueberry muffin, too. Because you may want to sit down for this one. It involves your new point guard, Sebastian Telfair. Ready?
Well Telfair, who you may recall tried to board a plane with a gun while playing for the Jailblazers, may be connected to this week’s shooting of rapper Fabolous.
How, you ask? Allow us to recap the events of Monday night:
*Bassy is going to Justin’s, a NYC restaurant owned by Puff Daddy, around 2 a.m.
*The restaurant tells Telfair his Bentley will get towed, he should move it
*Telfair moves it to a parking lot, and as he exits his car, some thugs rip a $50,000 chain off his neck
*Tough-guy Telfair follows the thieves – into the same restaurant he was already going to!
*Telfair notices the criminals go sit with rapper Fabolous
*The point guard tells the restaurant not to call the police, gets on the phone, and is overheard saying, ‘Get over here and take care of it’
*Thirty minutes after the initial robbery of Telfair’s necklace, Fabolous and his crew exit the restaurant and are shot at nine times by an unidentified assailant
Wow. It’s like a rap video sprung to life! Stephen Jackson has nothing on Sebastian Telfair. Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any better … this paragraph happens. We’re fairly certain that you will not read a funnier paragraph in the NBA all season long:
Telfair left Madison Square Garden at halftime of the Knicks-Celtics game Tuesday night to view lineups, which included Fabolous and his three friends, but did not pick out anyone.
All that’s missing from this story are 50 cent-issued bulletproof vests, and a leading lady that these two gangsters are fighting over, and Spike Lee has himself a major motion picture.

Telfair was robbed and that idiot rapper’s people are the only people saying that Telfair ordered the shooting. Meanwhile the NYPD has already cleared Telfair of any invovlement and are merely trying to find the thug that mugged himid.

boston dan,
for some reason i have a feeling all rappers are idiots to you, but putting that aside, Fabolous has never been involved in any such nonsense like this before. he is not a gangsta rapper in the least, and typically makes fare for women. they swoon over him and are his primary fan base. he is not know for gun play and tough guy talk.
and although fabolous was arrested he was arrested for having guns in the car not for having anything to do with the robbery. as far as i am aware, he was already inside eating minding his business when the robbery occured. he also left, after being shot, in a car that wasn’t his. so although his goons may have had something to do with this. bassy’s people obviously had something to do with the shooting and they are both guilty of hanging with the wrong friends. but to make this a bassy vs. fabolous thing, at least at this point, is ridiculous.
