I read in Forbes that it could change the entire course of the NBA ! Could anyone be surprised by word that NBA players have guns

We’re a little jealous of Royce Young. He gets to enjoy the experience of being a fan of his hometown team for the first time. Young is the founder and author of Daily Thunder , the TrueHoop Network’s excellent blog in Oklahoma City.
