Especially if you're an NBA player watching porn while driving. Not only might you have an accident, you could end up dribbling all over yourself, too.
(CBS) MINNEAPOLIS On March 30, Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin was drunk and masturbating when he crashed his luxury SUV into a parked Suburban outside a store in Minneapolis, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the man whose Suburban was hit in the crash.
WCCO-TV obtained copies of 911 calls and store surveillance video of the incident, along with an accident report the police submitted to the state, reports WCCO-TV's Caroline Lowe.
Several of the 911 callers that night said Griffin was drunk. One witness said Griffin told him he was watching pornography in a DVD player mounted on the dashboard of his Cadillac Escalade SUV when he struck a Chevy Suburban parked on University Avenue Southeast.
Wonder if his defense will be that he was just practicing his ball handling skills?

And once again we see clear evidence that money doesn't buy common sense OR class...

Why can't people die when doing things like this? Most of the time they just kill or maim someone else. I think that airbags should have a stupidity detector to shut them off if the driver is doing anything other than driving.
