I still dont think the story true, but if it was, no way that story played out like that if it was Mason.
I personally think/know the story is heavily embellished. You're meaning to tell me Biggie had a gun on him and robbed an NBA player? Let alone Anthony Mason (one of the lead suspects).
Biggie was a great story teller, but he was also a liar in 95% of his raps. If there's anything Jadakiss taught us is that rappers lie in 85% of their rhymes and there's supposedly someone in jail who's better than Michael Jordan.
