Gunman Refuses to Rob NBA Player: A gunman committing an armed robbery changed his mind on Christmas Eve when he discovered that his would-be victim was Philadelphia 76ers guard Lou Williams. "I was debating whether to pull off or help the guy," said Williams, who was in his car in Philadelphia's Manayunk area when the incident occurred. "He did all the talking and we came up with a solution before I could really say much. I treated him to McDonald's."

I guess "don't kill me; I'll take you to McDonald's" will eventually find it's place in the lexicon alongside "don't tase me, bro".

Oh, LBB someone had to say it. I mean seriously, what are the odds? Pick a victim, and it just happens to be a NBA player, and that player doesn't have a gun and doesn't put a cap in your ass but takes you to McDonalds? Classic.
Odds like that typically have a million dollar payoff, but instead this guy gets a story, burger, fries and a coke. Those NBA guys have all the luck.

Oh man, that is hilarious! It's funny because 99% of NBA players carry guns and are criminals! So good!

But doesn't eating at McDonald's kill you as surely as a bullet does?

You know, pointing out that their skin color is black is racist. You guys are the real racists. Stupid racists.

The gunman was very lucky that he managed to find an NBA player who wasn't carrying a loaded gun themselves.
