Rapper Jayceon Terrell Taylor
, known as The Game, 27, was accused of threating to shoot a man during a pickup basketball game at a South Los Angeles school.
The charges stem from a Feb. 24 basketball game at the Rita Walters Educational Learning Complex. Taylor punched Rodrick Shannon - a player on the opposing team - in the left cheek after they exchanged words, then grabbed a gun from his red Cadillac Escalade and threatened to shoot him.
Then Shannon went out to the parking lot and saw Taylor reach into a car and brandish a gun. "He started proceeding towards me. The gun was still in his hand. He yelled that I'm a ... fool. I turned around and ran because I feared for my life," Shannon testified.
But Taylor pleaded not guilty to three felony charges filed in a Los Angeles courtroom on Sept. 25, 2007.
