Rodman survived that emotional crisis and hasn't fooled with a gun since, at least not as far as anybody knows. As for fellow NBA star Iverson, he was a passenger in a car that police said was going 93 mph in a 65 mph zone. When police stopped the vehicle, which Iverson owns, officers said they found two marijuana cigarettes and a .45-caliber pistol belonging to him. His lawyers said he broke no laws and would plead innocent. Iverson is 22.
Young people make mistakes.
Terry Cummings is 36, an NBA player since 1982. Three weeks before the Switzer affair, he was arrested when a .9mm automatic handgun was found in his luggage at the Los Angeles airport. He wasn't trying to hurt anyone. I don't see that as doing anything wrong. Williams played for the NFL champion Green Bay Packers last season but missed the team's Super Bowl ring ceremony.
