NBA player Jeff Adrien says he's not the car stealing
MORON cops made him out to be ... his arrest was nothing more than a
mix-up.

We broke the story ... Jeff was arrested for grand theft auto
in L.A. this week -- after allegedly stealing a sick Mercedes from valet and
taking the whip on a 6-hour joyride.
Now, Jeff is finally breaking his
silence -- he has a LEGIT EXPLANATION for the whole thing ... it was a case of
mistaken Mercedes identity.
"I came out of the Hollywood
hotel in a rush. My friend gave me his ticket and said use his car ... so when
then valet pulled up in the ride I hopped in and left."
Adrien says he had never seen the
car beforehand -- so he didn't know if the car belonged to his friend or
someone else ... he just assumed he was in the right car.
"I don't like to point fingers
but this is Beverly Hills, there are a ton of Mercedes rolling around."
Adrien says the fact he brought the
car back to the hotel proves there was NEVER intent to steal the car ... it was
just an innocent mix-up.
In fact, Adrien and his lawyer both
tell said the charges against him have been dropped -- though we have not been
able to independently confirm that yet.
"I fully cooperated because I
know it was just a big misunderstanding. Everything is cool now and cleared
up."
