Chris Wilcox: Arrested on Weapon Charge
Talk about a crappy way to start your offseason.
Sonics big man Chris Wilcox was arrested this past Saturday night in North Carolina on a gun charge.
Wilcox was arrested along with a friend in Bladen County on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and was released on $500 bond. Carlos Deandre Gathers also was arrested and released.
This is the second time that Chris has been arrested on a weapon charge. Next season will be the third and final year of his current three-year deal.
It’s more than safe to say that he’ll be hearing from the League very shortly, if he hasn’t already. Care to guess if he’ll face a suspension?

sad. however, with all that’s occured this year with athletes being gunned down, are held at gunpoint…you have to understand how they can be paro to the point of self protection.

This is what happens when you let these young and dumb guys into the L. You draft them on their potential so they have plenty of skills they need to develop and a lot of them aren’t that bright. So you tell them to they need to work on their shooting in the offseason and this is what you get!

It’s nice to know that the Sonics have some other weapons on the team besides KD.

Maybe he should get a tatoo like S-Jacksons….(the one of the praying hands holding a gun (he prays he never has to use a gun again))…maybe that would help him remember to leave his guns at home. Thats what I do when I need to remember something important..i get a tatoo.

@Rico: That’s very Puerto Rican of you.

Start your offseason? Dudes been at home for almost two months now.

Rico says:
@B. Long….wtf does that mean? “Very Peurto Rican of you”?!? Are you serious? You are pathetic man…I don’t know how you can be racist and a true basketball fan. Your true colors are showing through…
Jun.5 at 1:27 pm
Jukai says:
Why is it racist to say Puerto Ricans get a lot of tatoos?
Jun.5 at 1:35 pm
Rico says:
@Jukai….he wasn’t saying it was “Puerto Rican” to get tatoos….he said my comment was “very Puerto Rican”. Also, if he was implying it’s very Puerto Rican to get tattoos you can’t say that it wasn’t a predjudiced comment.
Jun.5 at 1:35 pm
B. Long says:
Am I banned from saying Puerto Rican from the monitors now? Damn.
Jun.5 at 1:46 pm
Jukai says:
I can’t say it was terribly offensive either, Rico. I’d suggest either taking it up with one of the moderators, or getting a sense of humor.
Jun.5 at 1:54 pm
Rico says:
@Jakai…..sense of humor? How was that comment even funny? Did you find it funny? I think that there is a time and a place when you can use somebody’s race as a punch line…but not in a forum and not towards somebody you’ve been talking trash to.
Jun.5 at 1:56 pm
Rico says:
@Jakai….if B.Long and I were friends and knew each other I wouldn’t think twice of his comment…but he is very vocal about trashing me in these forums and he doesn’t have any friends.

My wife is mixed, get a life…

B. Long says:
Sp@nish/It@lian…
Jun.5 at 2:03 pm
B. Long says:
which technically makes her puerto rican.
Jun.5 at 2:15 pm
Rico says:
okay B. Long….you sound like you know what you’re talking about. sorry to cause such a problem. send your mixed wife my regards.
Jun.5 at 2:23 pm
Jukai says:
I can’t tell if Rico was getting out of the argument or sending a rather witty backhanded insult

B. Long’s lucky my post didn’t go through.

is rico even puerto rican? i had a guy call me a bumpkin on here and i’m hispanic.

underdog says:
It’s good to know it was just a gun, nothing serious stuff, like a cup of alcohol and some weed. Don’t forget Joakim, alcohol and drugs kill.
Jun.5 at 2:36 pm
B. Long says:
@Eboy: I’m sure it was something dogging my wife, and for some reason it won’t let you type Sp@nish. Try it with some sub. lettering, your attempts at humor are sometimes enjoyable.
Jun.5 at 2:37 pm
Rico says:
@marcgar….yes I’m Puerto Rican…..it was brought up one day and that is why B. Long made that comment. @Jukai….I don’t back down from an argument @underdog…..gun? fine. booze & weed? fine. gun & booze & weed? bad…as long as they get this.
Jun.5 at 2:38 pm
B. Long says:
@marcgar: Don’t take this the wrong way but every hispanic person I have ever met not from L.A. is a Spurs fan. Do they think Timmy is Mexican?
Jun.5 at 2:41 pm
Eboy says:
Naw, B. I don’t pick on people’s wives or children. That’s a bi&ch move. You made an assumption about It@lian’s, which you should investigate further, before just throwing sh*t out there.

Well, it’s so rare that you’re humorous that when it does happen, Rico, I’m taken back a little.
Jun.5 at 2:48 pm
B. Long says:
@Eboy: The remark about It@lians was meant to be TOTALLY sarcastic, I know what your talking about, as in they kinda have a problem with certain others in this conversation. Like BIG ones.

what says:
I’m no lawyer, but does the 2nd amendment not apply in this situation? It’s not like he shot someone…
Jun.5 at 2:51 pm
marcgar says:
@blong: lol i was gonna say earlier on a comment that cause i’m hispanic they right away think i’m a spurs fan haha. i dont know why other hipanics not from texas like the spurs but san antonio as you all know is predominatly hispanic city maybe thats why other hispanics like them. but no we dont think he’s mexican. dude thats freakin hilarious

@what: Small registered handgun-covered….Large unregistered Uzi used in numerous drive by shootings-not coverd.

Jukai says:
@what: I’m not lawyer myself, but I once owned a shirt that had a man with bear-like arms, and under it were the words “The Second Amendment.” I hope that helps.
Jun.5 at 3:26 pm
Jukai says:
Also, no, there’s no clause in the second amendment that allows you to carry around your unregistered handgun in public

like (karl malone), isnt there some wood u can chop or like ben wallace some model cars u can build. hey chris u gots to chill
Jun.5 at 3:57 pm
B. Long says:
@don thomas: Unless you haven’t heard, Karl had other hobbies besides chopping wood. Like impregnating 13yr. old girls.
Jun.5 at 3:58 pm
B. Long says:
Which is worse than “just” carrying a weapon in my books.

You guys should check out the LA homicide report in www.latimes.com this week. Dude #1 wasn’t in a gang, got attacked by dude #2 anyway (who was doing a gang initiation). Dude #1 shot back, killing dude #2. Dude #1 -no charges, self defense. If I’m Wilcox, I understand why he’s carrying.

I know I’m kinda late, but since when is Puerto Rican a race? I thought it was an ethnic group. Latino is a race. And I’m Latino.

Chukaz says:
I meant nationality not ethnicity(or whatever) & Latino is not a nationality(there some stupid people that will probably get confused)
