I'd think if they caught you on the street with it in NY cops wouldn't care but since the dumb ass brought it on a plane the rules are different.


If he had tried to bring it on a plane in Newark he would have been arrested. In NY, he got a citation.

Weed prohibition is so stupid, but he's a dumb ass for this.

I dunno man...weed down south is kinda trash compared to up here based on my experience. But I haven't smoked weed in seven years so I dunno.

I'd rather get high off some down south garbage weed instead of trying to get caught by the TSA smuggling some high quality goods through Gate C at LaGuardia :crazy:
He's got $100M coming his way. There's about $100M ways he could have gotten this to Louisville without carrying it himself through TSA

The kid is FROM there. There is no way in hell that he can't get there and have a pound of Kentucky's best dirt weed waiting for him at home.

I don't think this should change anything in the plans this summer but the front office needs to sit him down and lay out some expectations, and using better judgment off the court is one of them.

I can't lie, I think I'm more disappointed in his lack of common sense than anything else.

Also, who flies out of LaGuardia anymore? Not that Newark or JFk are much better...wow, NY/NJ needs to get its :censored: together on airports.

Lets be grateful that he didn't fly out of Newark, otherwise the images of him being perp walked by the TSA would be horrible optics.

As someone who partakes, I totally get why he would try to get it on a plane

There are people who do this all the time(as in put in checked bags) and probably got bad advice that it'll be fine. He should've known better but then again, he just turned 23 :lol:

Not a big deal tho.

JFK is sooooooo much better than LaGuardia, it's so easy to get lost at LaGuardia.

Someone brought up a point about the Arizona cannister...this was a planned packing. You don't just have that canister lying around if you don't plan on using it, which means...who knows when/where else he has used it?

I mean well the secret is out that he smokes weed so I'm sure this isn't the first time he's traveled with it.

But its just...STUPID lol. Like come on dude.

I'll say this...I will take him getting caught for something dumb like this over him getting behind the wheel piss drunk and god forbid. But he's got to be smarter.

I used to do a ton of dumb **** with weed when I was his age and I think back at how lucky I am not to have been caught for it, so its hard for me to be mad but damn you make 7 mil a year and have connections out the ass. There's no way you should be getting hemmed up for weed in an airport.

This is some wild news especially with free agency around the corner.
