Officers responded to 24Hour Fitness location in Walnut Creek tonight after a basketball game reportedly got a little heated and a player allegedly pulled a gun.
One player was seen leaving the business with blood on his shirt – believed to have been the result of aggressive defense instead of gunplay.
There were no known arrests.
How do you carry a gun in your basketball shorts??
Thinking it was probably in a gym bag somewhere near the court…
Very carefully?
Back in the day when I played pickup hoops, we had a saying about aggressive defense: “no blood, no foul”
There may have been some raised voices and an occasional push/shove but never the brandishing of a firearm.
I was always the fan of using a firm hand check….
It’s The Wild West Out There.
Basketball is now the equivalent of cheating at poker.

Or, you could just simply play good defense by sliding your feet. That’s how we did it back in the day.
Thank you for one more reason not to work out!
