    [rQUOTEr]Knicks player Cleanthony Early shot in overnight attack near Queens strip club

    New York Knicks forward Cleanthony Early was shot in the leg in an early-morning attack after leaving a Queens strip club, police sources told the Daily News.

    Early was surrounded by four to six people wearing ski masks and robbed of his items and jewelry — including a gold necklace and gold caps on his teeth, sources said.

    The shooting happened after Early left CityScapes gentlemen's club on 58th Street in Maspeth Queens.

    Early was reportedly in an Uber cab, about a mile away from the club, when three cars boxed in the vehicle.

    He was shot once in the knee, police sources said. He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital in stable condition.

    Employees with the gentlemen's club declined to comment when contacted by the Daily News.[/rQUOTEr]

    Awful. He barely made it after training camp and still didn get any playing time. This is basically the end of his career it looks like. There is no patience with 15th men.

    This is truly sad. Prayers for Early. The men who did this are ruthless.

    Not surprised this doesnt happen more. Asking to be a target. Most likely the strip club was ghetto, its 4 am. He has on chains, ppl probably recognize him as a ball player there.

    Again most NBA PLAYERS do this every night. Your own Houston Rockets players are out like this most nights before games.

    well, you are wrong. Maspeth Queens is a middle class suburb with 75% white and 2.2% black population. just an Ignorant statement showing pure bias
    what makes you think a strip joint that thieves would target, uber would go to and NBA players would like is in a ghetto

    the internet can be really stupid

    Have you seen where this place is at? Or just assuming because it said Queens. I never spoke about race.

    This is where he was at....

    Uber will go to anywhere to pickup ppl. NBA Players will go where the party is at.

    snippet from a yelp review.
    "This place was "Okay". It was easy to get to and it's in a very deserted and scary area lol."

    Yelp reviews for strip clubs. LOLs. You know those reviews are fake by competitors -- and there's like 6 total...all bad, lolz....versus 47K followers saying differently on instagram, more on twitter. You didn't realize that's the way it works on Yelp?
