Omschrijving

The top national expert on athletes and crime and the author of Pros and Cons brings us a controversial in-depth look at criminals in the NBA

The Kobe Bryant rape case and the arrest of Baylor basketball player Carlton Dotson for allegedly murdering teammate Patrick Dennehy, has galvanized the attention of the public and the press on athletes and crime. Jeff Benedict, with his background in research regarding professional athletes and crime, uses these cases as a springboard into an unprecedented look at criminals who play professional basketball.

In this raw exposé, Benedict evaluates every single current player in the NBA and his criminal history, revealing new and startling information about NBA players, the crimes they commit, the league's tolerance and complacency in these instances, as well as the manner in which these cases are handled or disposed of in the justice system.


Based on thousands of police and court records, this investigation reveals:


  • Police and Court Records: An unprecedented exposé built on thousands of pages of official documents, revealing the crimes the league would rather keep hidden.
  • High-Profile Case Studies: From the Kobe Bryant rape case to dozens of other underreported incidents, see how the biggest names in basketball navigate the justice system.
  • Violence Against Women: A critical examination of a culture where sexual assault and domestic abuse are tolerated, and victims are silenced.
  • A Culture of Impunity: Discover how the system of agents, lawyers, and league officials works to insulate players from accountability for their actions.
