McKie charged over gun purchase: Former NBA player Aaron McKie was charged Monday with trying to buy two guns despite being under a protection-from-abuse order that bars such purchases. The 35-year-old McKie denied being the subject of such an order when he applied to buy the guns in April, authorities said. The purchase was denied when the information surfaced in a background check, but his request was forwarded to state police. McKie was charged Monday with a felony gun violation and a misdemeanor charge of lying to authorities. (Updated 06/24/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
His lawyer, Brian McMonagle, said McKie, a Narberth resident, sought the guns to protect himself from the violence in his old Philadelphia neighborhood. McKie went to Temple and then played for Portland, Detroit, Philadelphia and Los Angeles in a 13-year pro career. He went to the NBA Finals with the 76ers in 2001. He was signed to a contract last season simply to make the numbers work in the Pau Gasol trade, but he won't be suiting up for any team in 2008-09. (Updated 06/24/2008).
