BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — An NBA star caught driving around Prospect Heights with a lit joint and a loaded gun will spend more than three years in prison, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office announced Monday.
Former Portland Trailblazers point guard Sebastian Telfair, 33, was sentenced to three and a half years after a Brooklyn jury found him guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in April, prosecutors said.

Cops found the gun when they pulled over Telfair on Atlantic Avenue in Prospect Heights on June 11, 2017, about 2:50 a.m., prosecutors said.
The officers testified they spotted the NBA star’s Ford F-150 pickup truck parked on an Atlantic Avenue center median, then watching as he made a U-turn and drive away without turning on his headlights, prosecutors said.
