Indiana Pacers forward Jordan Hill was arrested on reckless driving charges in Atlanta, president of basketball operations Larry Bird said in a statement Friday.
"We have been informed Jordan was arrested for allegedly reckless driving in Atlanta, Georgia," Bird said. "It is obvious we don't condone this. We will address this with Jordan. This is a major concern of safety, not just for Jordan, but for others."
Mike Petchenik of WSB provided a dashboard cam view of Hill allegedly driving at a speed in excess of 100 mph:

Lol classic Jordan Hill. So dumb that he goes 107 in decently thick traffic right in front of a cop, who catches it all on dash cam. What a (bleep) idiot.

There have been more than enough NBA players who've died in car accidents since 2000 for any twit to purposely hit 107. Derrick Coleman almost got his buddy Eldridge Recasner killed. JR Smith was responsible for the death of his passenger/friend. Malik Sealy, Drazen Petrovic died in accidents. Bobby Hurley nearly died in one. Eddie Griffin of Minnesota collided with a train. Rodney Rogers is paralyzed due to an ATV flipover. Jay Williams began his commenting career early thanks to motorcycle silliness.
Bobby Phills died while probably racing on the freeway with a teammate. That's the one that resonates most because it was a case of willfully reckless speed. There's too much carnage in the NBA by itself. It should be learned from, but you know how that goes, Dladi. Fun > caution.
I know that there are dozens of pro athletes who've driven recklessly at some point. We just don't know about them all. Sedale Threatt had a story about Mike driving him in his Ferarri at 88 mph in a mall parking lot or something of that sort. Sedale talked about it on a podcast. Actually, Mike doing some batty speed in a residential because he wanted to show Sedale how he was immune to DWB. Kareem talked about spinning out on an LA freeway in the early morning whilst on coke. He had the courage to admit it in his bio and to use it as a piece of advice for any kid who was to read the book, that's exactly what he said in a pregm interview about it. I peep any sports doc that's on telly, Dladi. Trust your homie here, there are tons of horror stories involving car accidents throughout sports. Another off the top of my head: boxer Ken Norton flew off an offramp and was in a coma for 2-3 yrs. Totally f'd him up for the rest of his life. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

Good post NPZ. No sympathy for Hill here either. I get scared when I drive at 70 mph, especially on freeways. I can't imagine going 107. Really (bleep) ing stupid and dangerous mistake, Jordan.

Same. I used to drive in the fast lane, now I drive in the first lane. I'm in that unpleasant age range where my youthful testosterone and invincibility seem like forever ago, haha. I can't even remember how I was 20+ yrs ago. I used to do about 75-85 on my commute every day and even at that speed, if you have the open road to accommodate it, there will always be at least one ahole who rides up your tail doing 90+. I think more years of driving experience (seeing a lot of bad stuff on the road) and that sense that most of us acquire through age where we finally come to understand the fleeting quality of life. That all gradually brought me down to 65. Back in 2005 we had an OT thread on that pretty teen girl who flipped a Porsche and her head was crushed. Maybe you'll remember that one, her family successfully got most of her accident scene pics off the internet. I've seen way too many scenes of tragedy here and there, mostly thanks to the internets. That kinda stuff serves as a healthy safety reminder. Forgot to mention Paul Walker above. Car guy...
Here's a snippet about the Bobby Phills situation:
CHARLOTTE, NC
--David Wesley of the Charlotte Hornets will be charged in the drag-racing death of his teammate, Bobby Phills. Assistant District Attorney Anne Tompkins said yesterday that she was not sure when the two misdemeanor charges would be filed.
The police said Wesley was driving his Porsche at more than 100 miles per hour and with a suspended license when he was racing Phills. Phills lost control of his car and collided with another car on January 12, 2000 in a crash outside the team's arena after practice.
Phills and Wesley were driving ''in an erratic, reckless, careless, negligent or aggressive manner,'' and the men were ''involved in a speed competition before the collision,'' a police report said.
Speed competition, also called drag racing, and reckless driving are each punishable by up to two months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Motorists convicted of speed competition can also lose their licenses for up to a year.
do any of you guys drive shirtless? I have never done that by choice. it looks unsophisticated to not wear a shirt in public. unless your going to a beach... even than I wear a tank
