Now the players union and the NBA are working together on an investigation. Now this is big money, powerful union and to make matters worse, the player Thabo Sefolosha is considered a decent guy from Europe and he will be unable to play in the upcoming playoffs. Atlanta is the #1 seed in the East.
And Oh yes, there are one or two civilian videos of this roughing up of Sefolosha (white mother, black father) by the NYPD. Good luck NYPD!
