Thread: Mookie Blaylock gets seven years for vehicular homicide

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/former-...1839--nba.html

Blaylock, known for his defensive prowess during a 13-year NBA career that ended in 2002, knew he should not have been driving due to a seizure disorder when his SUV crossed the center line and collided with a minivan outside Atlanta in May 2013, authorities have said.

At the time of the crash, he faced an arrest warrant for failure to appear in court on drug possession and drunken-driving charges in a nearby county, according to police.

Authorities never cited alcohol as playing a role in the fatal accident.

Seems fair considering he was aware of his condition and chose to drive anyway.

I didn't realize that he played in the NBA for that long. I don't really remember him other than playing with Stacey King at Oklahoma.

And having what would eventually be a pretty famous grunge band named after him.
