damn. this is really going to affect his draft status

i also hear that lebron started liking girls somewhere between 4 and 6th grade. and so did his basketball teammates. shit i was smoking weed in 6th grade and so were all my friends. somebody smoking pot once or twice in high school is hardly a big deal.

somebody smoking pot one or two hundred times in high school is hardly a big deal.

Wow. If LeBron wants to be President one day he needs to drop the weak shit and start snorting the stepped on stuff.

One, who gives a shit.
two, I don’t know about you guys but I once had a vague respect for Bissinger. I don’t think I’ve ever totally lost that feeling for any public figure for something non-criminal except for that Costas thing. What an asshat.

no but after a lesser known smoker cleared a 7 foot bong compared to lebron’s 4 foot bong he did not shake hands with him.

this is the part I think is totally fabricated

LeBron co-authored the book

That’s because the King is such a competitor.

San Antonio signs another. Theo Ratliff one year deal

Speaking of Buzz, I just read Whitlock’s (foxsports) new column. He manages to blame Deadspin for the EA video. Anyhow, he works Buzz in there as well.

LeBron Smoked Weed Once in High School!
who didn’t smoke weed at lease once in high school?
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Like it was hard?
You had respect for Terrell Owens? What incident pushed you over the edge?
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Next question.
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Who doesnt like weed? Its about to be legal soon. Shit its bringing billions of dollars to California.
I love how Whitlock always brings up the Stuart Scott incident. Ive heard that story like 20 times from him.

I smoked at a Jimmy Buffett concert 4 years ago. Now that that’s come to light, I guess David Stern will suspend me for 25 games for next season.
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:56 pm
i like weed.
doubtful. even tho i could bring in an estimated $1.4 billion in annual revenue by taxing sales of it, it’s still federally illegal and would require some serious work in both the california state congress and in washington.

July 23rd, 2009 at 1:26 pm
I’m with you. It’s not even a moral thing, I just can’t stand the smell of it. Makes me sick.

So what! And he inhaled too BFD! At least it is history.
I’ll raise my hand too e man, but in high school in the 1980s though well around its use by teens was even higher in the 1990s through today.
Weed was not as funny a matter for me any more when you have a family member who was actually hooked on it once. It cost him many things, and what’s really sad is that probably does not realise it yet.
Weed is a gateway otherwise from what I have seen for MOST users into harder, more addictive stuff packing better highs.
This site has a pro-marijuana user bias no doubt, and once I supported its taxing and legalisation, but I had seen enough especially in Las Vegas and out West to eliminate the benefit of doubt when someone talks about its “responsible, recreational, private” use by adults.
If you want to use though go for it, but you don’t get to judge or complain any more what others do when you yourself are breaking the law.
And sure as hell society or your company should not have to pay for your lame-ass rehab later when you get hooked on something else, but that’s what the use of marijuana and its usual consequences comes down to with the mightiest cries of support from its user base also for that gravy train for their irresponsible choices in the first place.

Given Spencer’s regular comments on here with which I disagree for the most part though some of them are funny, I bet you are right too.
And Spencer is right that it won’t happen simply because anything involving serious work in California or Washington DC is a real joke any more!

My sources tell me the Knicks are still interested.
