Talk about something escalating quickly.
A Memphis man has changed his life for the worse and it’s all because of an argument over whether University of Memphis basketball coach Penny Hardaway is a good coach, according to WREG-TV.
Officers took Tyrone Taylor into custody Thursday for the July 3 incident and he has since been charged with second-degree attempted murder after police said he shot his cousin in the chest. He was also charged with employment of a firearm and being a convicted felon in possession of a gun.
“The victim told police that he was inside the home when he got into a fight with his cousin over whether or not Hardaway was a good coach. The verbal altercation escalated and that’s when Tyrone Taylor allegedly punched the man in the face before pulling out a gun and firing.”
During his 14-year NBA career, Hardaway was a four-time NBA All-Star who had career averages were 15.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 704 regular season games.
