2010 NBA Rookie of the Year and Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans is driving the purple Mercedes that police chased for almost 15 minutes. He was driving at around 120-130 MPH on the highway, apparently racing the silver car also shown in the footage. He was pulled over and arrested at gunpoint. This is beyond a bad judgement call. Evans risked his life, as well as others on the highway.
This took me back to another story of some NBA players speeding. Charlotte Hornets players, Bobby Phills and David Wesley, were both speeding after a shootaround (some witnesses said they were racing) in January of 2000. Phills lost control, colliding into another car. Phills, who was 30 at the time, died instantly. ( http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/news/2000/01/12/phills_reaction_ap/)
People need to stop thinking they are invincible. Thank God Evans didn't hurt anyone else or himself. I hope he can take the lesson out of this and not make this mistake again.
