LaMelo puffin' on a blunt ahead of play-in game 

Post#1 » by whatisacenter » Thu Apr 14, 2022 3:22 am

Sooooo, I didn't see a thread and I am not against smokin' weed but videoing yourself doing it before a win-or-go-home game is kind of dumb. Especially when you then go out and shoot 7-25 and play like doodee in a 29 point loss.

I'd much rather have players puffing up than having a beer.

A lot, and I mean a lot of players smoke before games after games probably even during halftime

It's not the weed per se (I enjoy my nightly hit, it's like my glass of scotch), but getting intoxicated before you go to work is just extremely unprofessional. I don't care what substance it is.

Ha, said I'm not against it but that videoing yourself doing it is pretty dumb. Kind of on-brand tho so he has that going for him.

I like LaMelo. But he's a rich teenager in 2022, that's what they do.

He's a great player. Either he grows up eventually and starts taking winning more seriously, or he doesn't. No big deal; I will enjoy watching his career either way.

I think the video is funny. He's a kid. There's always next year.

Not a big deal imo. Was It was the same day as the game? How long before? You do know some players admitted to drinking Henny game day and during.

Not to mention, if he's a frequent smoker he may not even have been high by game time. Plus I doubt a little buzz would actually dull his game. I've balled high plenty of times and had good games and bad games.
