No surprises here..I'm sure some NBA fans would be shocked to find out some of their fav players smoke.

Probably not the last we'll hear of an NBA player toking.Hmmm, maybe Chicago will make a trade for Josh Howard.

You are a professional basketball player making millions of dollars. It is the off season and you are looking for activities to cure your boredom. Do you

a) Hit the gym and work on improving your game
b) Go Fishing
c) Play Video Games
d) Get caught on a public street sipping on a beer with weed in your possession because you are a mongoloid.
