Telfair only played 39 games with the Clippers, coming off the bench in 38 of them. The LA Clippers acquired Telfair in the summer of 2009, when they received him, Mark Madsen, and Craig Smith from the Minnesota Timberwolves in return for Quentin Richardson. In January 2017, Brooklyn police officers arrested him for possession of a firearm, ammo, a ballistic vest, and drugs in his car. It was his most recent slip-up, however, that has him in the hot seat now. Telfair had a run in with the law in 2007 when police found a loaded fire-arm in his vehicle. Ruben Patterson, Damon Stoudamire, Zach Randolph, Darius Miles, and Ha Seung-Jin were on the team when Bassy made his arrival, and they were likely less-than-ideal role models. Qyntel Woods, Rasheed Wallace, an Bonzi Wells had already been discharged from the team by the time Telfair was drafted, but Portland was, by no means, short on trouble-makers. However, those early 2000’s Portland teams were nicknamed “the Jail Blazers” for a reason. A relative of Jamel Thomas and Stephon Marbury, Telfair had basketball in his blood and was expected to be the face of the Blazers after Scottie Pippen and Arvydas Sabonis retired. The Portland Trail Blazers were the team that rolled the dice on the 6’0 point guard from Brooklyn. Telfair was seemingly the next point guard to run the league when he graced the cover of SLAM Magazine with LeBron James, each showcasing their high school jerseys, in August 2002. On Monday, Brooklyn’s District Attorney announced former LA Clippers guard, Sebastian Telfair, has been sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for illegal gun possession.Īccording to ESPN, Sebastian Telfair, the 13th pick of the 2004 NBA Draft is heading to prison, a sad turn in an already unfortunate story.
