"If They Tested For Pot, There Would Be No (NBA) League"

I’m not sure how many TWB readers are NBA fans, but me and Ninjasmoker are big hoop fans, and we just got done watching the NBA Finals (game 5). At half time we started talking about how basketball and marijuana go hand-in-hand for some reason, because it seems like so many NBA players consume marijuana. I remember listening to a classic rock station a few years back, and it was airing an interview with Tommy Chong.

When asked who his favorite celebrities are, he said that he really likes basketball players; especially Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He said he smoked with him often, and that Kareem estimated 80% of the NBA smoked pot (including non-player staff). I, of course, am not Tommy Chong or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (I wish), so I don’t know how valid the interview statement was, but it doesn’t surprise me.

As a life long Portland Trailblazer fan (TWB is in Oregon), I have seen some of the biggest stoners in NBA history up close...........................

80% seems a bit hi... exterme. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was a majority.

Charles Oakley made a similar comment a few years ago.

I know two people that have smoked with 3 different Blazers. I would bet the number is around 70%.

As long as they aren't blitzed on the court I see no problem with a player smoking a little at night to get to sleep or just to relax.

It's just weed!
