What Harassed Happens in Vegas ...

This isn’t the least bit newsworthy, but I had to mention it because:
a. Cops suck.
b. Vegas rocks.
c. Pierce gets props.
According to the hard-hitting news journalists at TMZ.com, Celtics star and NBA Finals MVP Paul Pierce was handcuffed by Las Vegas police over the weekend after becoming “agitated” during a traffic stop near the Tropicana (hey, if it’s good enough for Paul Pierce, it’s good enough for me).
The nerve of Pierce, getting agitated by a traffic stop.
The Inglewood product must have become really agitated when he was asked to take a pair of sobriety tests and a Breathalyzer – passing all three like Lakers defenders in the Finals.
Pierce was reportedly cuffed for 15 minutes before order was restored and the Celtics sharpshooter was released.
After the incident, the Vegas PD released this statement: “You can’t contain Paul Pierce, you can only hope to stop him.”

The story sounds like a sequel to Celtic Pride, only this time a Celtic was on the other end of the cuffs. I guess the Vegas PD has been corrupted by Laker lovers.
The kicker of the whole story came afterward, when Pierce flung his keys to valet parking and took a cab back to his hotel.
Dude was too sober to drive and too “agitated” to get harassed by the cops again.

Oh yeah, and the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s gossip columnist, i.e. a guy with an eye patch, dug even deeper into this “story,” noting one of Pierce’s friends threw a shrimp at him over dinner.
Again, how is this newsworthy?
I think Slam reader Justin Adler said it best when he commented:
“This might be the lamest story ever. Sobriety. Shrimp tossing. No coke, hookers, or guns. Come on Paul.”
No, atta boy Paul. For once, someone affiliated with the NBA made a correct call - in Vegas of all places.
