Sebastian Telfair Goes Nuts In Court After Getting Convicted For Gun Possession

In 2017, high school phenom turned NBA backup Sebastian Telfair was pulled over in his home town of Brooklyn with three loaded firearms, one semi-automatic rifle, a bulletproof vest, a large quantity of ammunition and two bags of marijuana inside the car.

New York City is an awful place to get caught with a gun, and even though Telfair was only charged for one of the firearms he just got a sentence of 3.5 years.

Telfair had an outburst after the sentence was handed down, passionately proclaiming his innocence. 

"Please don’t take me from the society right now. I’m 34. I can go play in China for another six years, take care of my family," he told the judge.

Not surprisingly, the judge didn't budge.
