Espn has reported that four current and one former basketball players have been arrested in connection to an underground street fighting ring located in Denver, Colorado. The players involved are Carmelo Anthony, Ben Wallace, Paul Pierce, tracy McGrady, and Scottie Pippen. they were discovered after Denver police department followed Carmelo Anthony and watched him enter an abandoned building near what is called the "red light district" of Denver. The cops then receiving a warrant over the phone to search the building entered and found the above mentioned players along with about 20 other people participating in bare knuckle fighting. Capt. Dennis Clarke of the Denver police department has made a statement this morning, "Last night 1 former and 4 current basketball players have been arrested on charges of underground fighting. We have a strong case and are urging the NBA to take disciplinary action against the current players involved. On top of that we are asking that the former player involved be stripped of his Hall of Fame rights."

Espn has interviewed a number of others involved and have found out that the players involved were the ring leaders and at the top of the "rankings" as mentioned by one person. "Ben Wallace would come in and just destroy everyone. He would sometimes take three or four guys and still win." The Denver D.A. has decided to press charges in the case on all involved and it is almost certain that the three current players will be spending sometime in jail. "This is not like the Michael vick case where they were making dogs fight each other. This is a case where humans were involved making illegal decisions on their own right" said Clarke. David Stern has yet to comment on the situation but a source close to him has said that all three players will most likely not see a basketball court this upcoming season. Espn has also discovered that three of the people arrested are also connected to the dogfighting case going on in Virginia where Michael Vick is being charged in that case.

Espn would like to state that in no way do they condone fighting of any sort outside of a structured and sanctioned enviroment. Clarke said, "It truely is a sad day in the world of sports. Such prominent athlete's making some of the poorest decisions I have ever encountered. I just hope all young people do not look at this as a good decision and will agree with us in condemming the decisions of these delinquent few."
