This.

But I guess you have to assume no player is going to come out and say "We're the team that everyone is giong to beat." May be true, but you'd get stranger looks about that then what he actually said.

Well, they say confidence is half of what it takes to succeed. Too bad Minnesota doesn't have the other half.

There is the interview. The question came at about 3:30.

The NBA should have speech lectures for their players. This is pathetic.

I personally like his attitude.

I will grant you that it can impair judgment, but it certainly doesn't kill regular brain cells. Your body produces natural chemicals that are very similar to the active ingredients of pot, which interact harmlessly with the brain (and other body functions). This is (basically) why you cannot die by using it too much, no such thing as a marijuana overdose.

Actually, there are some brain cells that have been shown to die with introduction of THC, but they are strictly cancer cells. In quite a number of recent studies they have found that THC causes several forms of cancer cells to atrophy. Initially they found this using cancerous tumors in the brains of mice, but have also shown decreased levels of (human) lung cancers in marijuana-only smokers.

Obviously a controversial subject, but if you disagree you should check this out:

What does that have to do with marijuana use exactly?

maybe he meant it like, "you're not going to beat the Heat, you're not going to beat the Lakers, we're the team to beat?" :dontknow:

if you watch the interview, it's a pretty harmless answer; not a great speaker, but he comes off rather personable.

timdunkit · Post #19 » by **timdunkit** » Sat Sep 18, 2010 1:58 pm

Watch the interview ... He says the Lakers are the best team and favorites ....
