Typically, when athletes get in trouble it’s during the offseason. Not during training camp/preseason. The key word is typically.
But then again, since Mbenga was waived by the Mavs a few weeks ago, he’s not technically in the NBA at the moment.
As Mbenga was trying to leave the restaurant, two Dallas police officers were walking in.
The 7-1 center put his palm on the chest of one of the cops and said, “You move out of my way.”
The officer stopped and said, “You don’t touch police, let alone make that statement.”
To which Mbenga — perhaps, in hindsight, inadvisably — responded: “You want to go? I do what I want, so you move out of the way!”
