Self-Proclaimed Gangster

Since Portland Trail'gangsta' Zach Randolph likes to see himself as, not a professional basketball player, but a criminal, we will cater to his wants by posting a rather detailed description of some rape allegations.

Any other law-abiding athlete, and we would file this news until it works itself out in court. But for Zachary M. Randolph, I'm sure he would not have a problem further soiling the NBA with his reputation.

For review - here's some of the gangster's resume:

Sucker-punched Ruben Patterson in the face - this actually was a positive.

Under-age drinking.

Driving under the influence of marijuana.

Present during a shooting, which put his brother in prison. He was threatened with arrest after his first statement to police, then changed to a backup statement and was not charged.

Two vehicles registered to Randolph were involved in a race in a 20 mph zone. The car Randolph was in had two loaded (registered) weapons under the seat.

This sexual assault criminal case was thrown out of court earlier in the year, but now Jane Doe, obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is going civil.

A great piece on this in on the premier NBA Blog True Hoop.
