    didn’t know he struck around in pdx… that’s awful. When was the last time a player got arrested on charges as severe as his? i genuinely can’t remember besides Kobe

  2. AceMcStace

    God damn it why he gotta be wearing our jersey in the thumbnail

    > McLemore, 31, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon in Clackamas County Circuit Court. He faces charges of first-degree rape, first-degree unlawful sexual penetration and second-degree sexual abuse.

    Jesus.

    Former Kings/Grizz/Rockets/Lakers/Blazers legend…

    Guess he won’t realize his potential after all, huh…

  5. r/nbacirclejerk users are ecstatic upon hearing this news

    first degree rape in Oregon:
    “(1) A person who has sexual intercourse with another person commits the crime of rape in the first degree if:
    (a) The victim is subjected to forcible compulsion by the person;
    (b) The victim is under 12 years of age;
    (c) The victim is under 16 years of age and is the person’s sibling, of the whole or half blood, the person’s child or the person’s spouse’s child; or
    (d) The victim is incapable of consent by reason of mental incapacitation, physical helplessness or incapability of appraising the nature of the victim’s conduct.”

    so if the state takes this case, it’s gonna be interesting to read the alleged facts cuz first degree is depraved asf

    Why is it so hard for people to not be pieces of shit?

    He got a DUI a month ago too. Human garbage

  9. I remember delivering pizza to him in fair oaks California on 4/20/16. Dude was really high and tipped me 10 bucks on a $150 order.

  10. iamaweirdguy

    Over 30 mil in career earnings and a professional athlete. Dude could find plenty of women who would sleep with him and he’s out there raping people. What a POS.

    Listen, someone who’s got nothing to lose who does this shit is human garbage.

    Ben had everything a person could reasonably want in a life. He’s rich, tall, athletic, famous, and essentially completely unburden as far as society was concerned. He’s not even the kind of famous that can’t go outside, he’s the kind that goes to the mall and has a 30/70 chance of being recognized and approached on any given day for a positive interaction (autograph or even sometimes just a quick photo).

    He did this because someone said “No” to him and he was too much of a fucking disgusting piece of garbage to take that answer. He had it all, and I hope that he will have nothing.

    (Unless this is all some elaborate set up, and he’s actually innocent, in which case damn sucks to suck Ben. No matter what you’ll be labeled a rapist now).

    Lock him up and throw away the key like they did it in the middle ages. Pedophiles and rapists truly deserve to disappear off the planet.

  13. YouGotCabbaged

    I’m from the Uk, what’s the difference between first and second degree R?

  14. BadBeatsDaily

    Why cant these uber rich pros just act normal
    Lol. You already won the lottery in skill and earnings, just be a proper part of society how hard is that?

    Remember him being trash at basketball on the rockets but I didn’t know he was trash at being a good person. If it’s true I hope he dies in prison

  16. NightwolfGG

    It’s not the same, but this story reminds me about Miles Bridges, who still gets glazed up by announcers when he’s on the court, ever since LaMelo went out. He’s not on the same level of human trash as McLemore is, but bridges is still a piece of shit who likely abused his wife in front of kids. As a North Carolinian, makes it hard to root for the hornets. Too many athletes (know NFL has some bad examples) are given passes on being shit people just because they’re talented

    Damn. For those who are interested: This bum currently plays for a team fighting against relegation in the Spanish league called Río Breogán. Although considering the charges, I doubt he’ll be playing there anytime soon. It’s a small club and city that has been gaining prominence for NBA rejects because of the career arc of former first round Dzanan Musa, who won the MVP in his season there after not finding a home in the NBA or Euroleague. (Now he’s one of the elite players in Europe playing for the empirical Madrid team)

    Considering his success other NBA rejects opted to follow his blueprint to try and regain importance and reputation. (Jahlil Okafor went to Zaragoza, which is another mid table team in the Spanish premier division) However both of these players have been mid in their teams and have rarely ever been difference makers. Jahlil has left Zaragoza to go to China while it seems like McLemore wants to go to Alcatraz

    And y’all laugh that we took Anthony Bennett over this guy! Time for y’all to eat crow 🐦‍⬛ 😌

    You are a scrub, you can’t get away with rape!

  20. ZarduHasselffrau

    His team at Spain is cursed, it’s been bad news one after another, they are currently facing demotion and another one of their players is now unavailable. 

    He went back to the US for personal matters and bang, a 3 year old crime pops up.

    This guy fell off a cliff from “best jump shot in the draft” to potentially doing some time.

  21. siphillis

    Shit, that might be a 20-game suspension. Hope he wasn’t gambling.

  22. PrivateButtFucker

    Innocent until proven guilty… but yikes this is not a good look.

  23. BongripperHousen

    Must’ve texted Kobe “I got you today”

  24. DtotheOUG

    I was legit wondering what happened to this dude a week or two ago.

    Looks like nothing worth noting. What a piece of shit.
