A Texas jury has sentenced the 22-year-old son of former NBA player Nick Van Exel to 60 years in prison in the shooting death of a longtime friend.
Nickey Maxwell Van Exel received the punishment Friday after his father wept on the witness stand and apologized to the family of Bradley Bassey Eyo. The same jury in Dallas County in North Texas found the younger Van Exel guilty of murder on Thursday.
Prosecutors had sought a capital murder conviction.
Nickey Maxwell Van Exel fatally shot the friend in December 2010 and dumped his body at Lake Ray Hubbard on the eastern outskirts of Dallas.
Damn, that really sucks for Nick.
You screwed up son.
Prayers to the victim's family , as well as Nick's.
Sucks for Nick.
Son better practice bending over.
That's a real shame. So unnecessary.
Tragedy. So many lives destroyed. The needle would be preferable to 60 years I would think.
LOL at feeling bad for Nick. He raised this ing POS worthless murderer. I feel no sympathy.
That's enough, bye bye!
You're a moron.
The NBA: where friend killing happens
Why?why????why???? Would nick van exel shoots his free throws two feet from the the free throw line?? Why?????
Why should I feel bad for a cold-blooded murderer?
dunno why any of you should feel sorry for him, while everyday ppl die from other reasons....
Sports Illustrated had a story about Nick Van Excel stealing stuff from a teammate at his Jr College. When the teammate confronted him, two of Nick's friends knocked him out and then Nick kicked the guy when he was out.
Nick was a loser.

fake tears my friend, just one dumb out of the family fortune he has to worry about....

You take it hard but you cant feel like it was your fault. Once you're over 18 you're on you own.
I would probably say the parents are only accountable for their kid's actions while they are under their care and under the legal age.
Anything you do past that is on you.
Lol butthurt
