This is an indictment of pro basketball players who live in a world where criminal laws and social norms don't exist, where they are given license to act above the law. They dazzle us with their spectacular physical feats, generate millions of dollars for the NBA and their teams and inspire adulation. But underneath all the glitz, money, and alley-oops is a seamy underbelly, a rash of lawlessness. Based on a first-of-its-kind investigation into the criminal histories of 177 NBA players from the 2001–2002 season, this book shows that an alarming four out of every 10 NBA players have a police record involving a serious crime--ranging from armed robbery to domestic violence to gun possession to rape. Benedict takes a hard look at shocking cases, with graphic accounts of physical and sexual violence and other outrageous conduct by players. In all, more than 250 people are named, including many prominent players. 254 pages, hardbound, 2004.
