Manhattan Strip Clubs: Sources: NBA could suspend Arenas
The league’s most recent collective bargaining agreement with the players’ union, introduced in the summer of 2005, enacted stricter rules against firearms than the NBA previously enforced, allowing players to own registered weapons but strictly prohibiting gun possession on any team property (arena or practice facility) or at any team function, including promotional appearances.
The three-game suspension of Golden State’s Chris Mills in 2002 for allegedly possessing a gun in a post-game incident involving the Portland Trail Blazers and then-Blazer Bonzi Wells is widely considered the spark for Stern’s determination to push for more rigid anti-gun language in the last labor pact.
No gun-related suspension in the NBA in the 2000s has resulted in a suspension longer than the seven-game ban received by Stephen Jackson in 2007. Jackson pled guilty to one count of felony criminal recklessness after firing five shots into the air in a dispute outside an Indianapolis strip club in 2006 involving then-teammate Jamaal Tinsley, during which Jackson was hit by a car.
