I personally think it's pretty funny. But when you have the past that he has, he should be putting on a good face and not joking around like that. To me, it makes it seem like he didn't care that he got into trouble for stealing and doesn't think that it was a big deal. One way to look at is that he is making the statement of: "Yeah, I stole, I got away with it, and now I get to make fun of anyone who had any concerns that I stole. I don't care that I stole because I got away with it and I'm a star athlete."
When you're taken #1 overall, you become the face of the franchise. Do you want the face of your belittle the fact that he was in legal trouble for stealing? He should be apologizing for it, not making fun of it.
Overall I think it's funny, but I wouldn't have done it if I were in his shoes
