Words of a famous guy, you either sling crack or you got a wicked jump shot.. most those in the nba/nfl would be slinging crack if it werent for the nba, nfl, etc.

Or he just getting high on his own supply..lol

Codeine Cough Syrup and Cocaine are not "that different" in terms of addictiveness and dangerousness....Codeine is a strong narcotic drug, potentially much more addictive than cocaine.

Having said that, Damn Purp...this makes me really sad. As someone who has dealt with drug issues for a few years, I empathize with him and know how easy it is to fall back into it when things don't go perfectly. But damn, damn, damn.

Good luck Shawne Williams. It looks like your NBA career is over.

They said he was trying to sell? Didn't he get MLE money after he left the Knicks. Maybe it was half the MLE, but even then, that is still big money. Answering my own question, a lot of times, it's not about the money with these things.

It's an absolute shame. He should have been concentrating and busting his butt to try to get back into the league, yet this is where his attention was SMH...

He was caught with a little bit of weed and some cough syrup. Intent to sell? LOL.
The guy made $7M over the past 3 seasons. I don't think he's broke yet.
