Former Wildcat Desmond Allison Killed Over Hat

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Friends of a former University of Kentucky basketball player who was shot to death in Ohio say two women arguing over a baseball cap may have led to the killing. Malcolm Goff, 36, who was wounded during the Monday afternoon shooting, and witness Tina Underwood, 31, tell The Columbus Dispatch that Desmond Allison was talking on his cellphone outside an apartment complex when an ex-girlfriend took a cap off his head. Allison's current girlfriend, who'd given him the hat, saw what had happened and the two women began arguing, Goff and Underwood told the newspaper. They say Allison exchanged words with one of the women before he and Goff walked away. Later, they say, three men approached Allison and that one of them — a relative of one of the women — argued with Allison. They say another man began shooting. The 31-year-old Allison died at a local hospital. Goff was treated and released. Columbus Police Det. Michael Higgins told the Dispatch that police think the argument over the hat and the shooting are connected. He says police have not determined yet if the shooter was related to one of the women. No arrests have been made. Allison played at Kentucky from 1998-2000. In his last season he averaged 8.9 points per game and 4.4 rebounds.

So apparently Desmond Allison was killed over an argument stemming from a hat. While this is pretty sad, it's good to hear that he wasn't killed over drugs or anything suggesting he was back to his old ways. After leaving UK Allison had multiple run-ins with the law, but recent stories suggested he was turning his life around. While no one really knows what Allison has been doing except for him, at least we can give him the benefit of the doubt.

That being said, this is why I never wear hats. When I was a kid bitches were always grabbing my hat off my head and running away with it. While it was obviously a form of flirting, they never put out or anything when you catch them, you just wrestle the damn thing from their hands and by the time you get it back on your head the bill is destroyed, you got a grass stain on your jeans, and in my case you are close to lung failure. Eventually I just decided I wasn't gonna wear hats anymore, and that's probably the reason I never get laid because now girls don't know how to flirt with me. They probably do something else that I don't pick up on, but when I do figure it out watch out because I've been doing this ejaculation training to where I'm about 80% sure I can go over a minute before busting a nut. Never tried it on a girl but I've been training sober so I figure if I'm drunk it will offset the excitement of having a girl on the receiving end instead of my belly button. Anyways got a little off track there RIP DESMOND ALLISON.
