Above the Rim, Law

Who says that Nuggets players aren’t above the law? Carmelo never was charged with assault for socking Mardy Collins last year, Iverson had 14 charges dropped in 2002 after brandishing a firearm and threatening to kill his cousin and his roommate, and most recently, Kenyan Martian escaped losing his license after going over 100 miles per hour twice in the same month.

K. Mart got caught speeding in 2006 going 101 mph in a 30 mph zone, and was caught speeding again later that year going 103 mph in a 55 mph. According to Colorado law, he should have lost his drivers license after the first offense, but apparently he has the best lawyers known to man, and it was reduced to a simple fine. He definitely should have lost it after the second offense, but again, managed to escape the charges.

Recently, the prosecutor in charge of K. Mart’s cases was suspended for being too easy on him. What a benefit to the job, eh?

As far as ethics are concerned, I would have let him go too, if it means the Nuggs make it to the playoffs. F*** the man.
