You guys' percentages are way too high. Sure there'll definitely be some smokers out there, but there's also a lot of serious players who realise that having the munchies for pizza every night aint a good thing for their careers or the split-second decision making they need each game.

Players that must smoke all the time.
Josh Howard
Lamar Odom

From what I have heard Chris Andersen stopped doing marijuana and cocaine after his suspension.

Do you think the 70% number is correct?


I seen Odom around my hood twice...

and i saw him puffin while sittin in the bench in a tournament game..

Nothing has changed.

WOW......... Props to you for addressing it.
Seriously, storm crys everytime when someone starts a thread about the Lakers Celtics and Cavs, yet a vet poster like himself comes on here and starts a thread about smoking weed which someone posts every other month, and here you are a rookie addressing it...............props.
I guess when I first came on the Lakers board our mods addressed that its not the quanity its the quality of your posts.
Well guess what you just proved that point.

I agree. According to studies, which obviously aren't perfect, 1/3 try marijuana once in their life. I'm sure that less than half the league smokes weed regularly.

Thanks for the props. I just felt like it had to be said. BTW, I am not a rookie on this site. I have been posting for several years but when RealGM switched looks earlier this year my profile was deleted and I just recently created a new one.

I look around this forum, and the only person that accuses another person of "crying about threads"(you) cries about topics more than anyone.

Find one post of mine in which you interpret it as me "crying". If it's so blatant, like you say, it should be pretty easy right? Since every single thread about those 3 teams created has me in it "crying".

Chris Bosh in some interviews during practice days comes off ether extremely tired or high.

Also it appears JR Smith sparks a joint on the bus on the way game, I don't know for sure though.

I know of people who have smoked with Udonis Haslem.

But really, as somebody else put it, we should be asking "who *hasn't* smoked in the NBA?" For the guys who are listing some of these stars based on their good guy images, I wouldn't be so naive. You'd be surprised at how many people might indulge themselves.
