Stephon Marbury and his lawyer both seemed to think there was no way their boy could be involved. Could it have just been a coincidence? Hell, no! But apparently Telfair is quite the charmer.

If he’s such a great guy who would never involve himself with criminal activity, then why does he have a loaded gat up under the seat? Call us crazy but we can’t imagine Dwyane Wade or LeBron James rolling with a pistol by their side. Carmelo Anthony on the hand…

Telfair — God bless Sebastian Telfair.  In an unrelated note, I was driving on the Bronx River Parkway this afternoon.  Unfortunately, there are no makeshift markers on the side of the road put there by rogue Celtics fans or members of Fabolous’s posse to commemorate the spot where Bassie got taken down by The Man…
