This is fairly shocking and sad news even though the possibility was certainly there: former NBA guard and cousin of Georgia Tech great Stephon Marbury Sebastian Telfair was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for possessing a loaded gun. Several actually.

It’s a sad fall for a guy who had immense potential he never quite realized. We hope when he gets out he makes better decisions.
