Jamaal Tinsley

Since it seems to be a recurring event I’ll just post that over the weekend Indiana Pacer point guard Jamaal Tinsley was involved in an incident he should be trying to avoid. Tinsley and his entourage/posse were at a club out on ghetto row when the club was cleared because of a fight between a couple of female patrons. Tinsley and his crew were at the club and had arrived in three of Tinsley’s slick rides including a Rolls Royce.

Apparently some thugs thought they would show up the guard and an argument in the parking lot ensued. When Tinsley and co. left the thugs in the parking lot followed. Knowing they were being followed, Tinsley and them drove into the heart of downtown Indianapolis where, in front of the Conrad Hotel at approximately 3:40 am, a firefight took place. Several shots were fired at Tinsley and his friends. One man was wounded, but is okay. The shooters fled in their cars. Tinsley’s brother fired a couple of shots and one man with Tinsley was arrested on an out of state warrant.

Tinsley, for his part, has apologized to the Pacers and the city and says he made a mistake and needs to make better choices. I applaud that Jamaal, but your track record makes me skeptical that you’ll ever change. I just hope you do before someone who can aim a gun fires at you.
