Educated Bet – The Science of Sports Betting

EducatedBet…No Excuse!

New Jersey Nets forward Richard Jefferson was charged with assault Wednesday for grabbing another man by the throat in a Minneapolis club earlier this year. But the player disputed the account of what happened.

Jefferson was in town with the team on Jan. 27 when, according to a charge filed, he went to a club in the Graves Hotel where the victim was having a private birthday party in a roped-off section. The documents say Jefferson entered the area and got angry when he was asked to leave. He is accused of grabbing the victim, shoving him to a bench and choking him with both hands.

Jefferson said in an interview in a local radio show that it was Vince Carter’s birthday and he was in the hotel bar. He went on to say that some guy just came up to him and started being rude and an altercation broke out. I believe Jefferson is telling the truth when he said some a**hole came up to him and started saying stuff but be that as it may, he is a nobody and you are an NBA PLAYER…I know that its tough but you always have to turn the other cheek and walk away. Because it will always be worse for you in the end. There is no excuse for starting a fight with some jerk…even if he deserves it and I am sure that this dude did!
