Quote:
Some might call this behavior paranoid -- the obsession of a self-absorbed professional athlete -- but Paul Pierce considers it common sense.

The Celtics captain keeps two guns in his spacious west suburban home -- a 9-mm handgun and a shotgun.

You never know, he says.

“I’ve been followed in my car before -- a few times -- coming home from the game,” said Pierce. “I’ve re-routed how I go, and they still followed me.”

No one ever followed Pierce all the way home, but he knows that he’s been tailed. These nondescript drivers have given him a chill. He’s on edge when it’s time to get out of the car and walk inside.

“Sometimes when I get home it’s three or four in the morning,” he said. “I’m scared of going in the house. I’m out there in the woods, and it’s pitch black.”



I know i should... but damn that reads funny!!


Story

The NBA Logo with bullet hole in is a little over the top. You can't do that to West!!!

Got me staring out my windows, peepin round corners,

My mind's playin' tricks on me.



I always feel like, somebody's watchin' meeeeee.....


Had to stop at a redlight, looking in my mirror not a jacker in sight.

There's hunger in the street that is hard to defeat
Many steal for sport, but more steal to eat
Cat's heavy at the weigh-in, and he's playin' for keeps
Don't sleep, they'll roll up in your passengers seat
There is universal law, whether rich or poor
Some say life's a game, to more, life is war
So put them egos to the side and get off them head-trips
'Fore some cats pull out them heaters and make you head-less...
