Real talk: How rampant is drug use in the NBA re: Brandon Jennings

[BigBoss]

Does anyone have links or know of stories of NBA players and drug use. I've heard a few things here and there. How common do you guys think it is? How do guys get away with it? How often are guys playing hungover?

The Brandon Jennings thing isn't being talked about much except on gossip websites, which is a shame because it sheds light on how irresponsible these guys are as multimillionaires disrespecting their franchise. The guy is just flat out ignorant. The younger NBA athletes are really distracted and it paints a real good picture as to why some players don't to reach their potential. Respect to Swaggy P for saying no. Guy needs to be conscious of who he surrounds himself with and probably ask Kobe for some mentorship on how to get to the next level. It's not in clubs doing molly.

Jennings is a father
Grew up in Compton
His dad committed suicide

Explains a lot

[Johnny Jones]

Every NBA player smokes weed and pops the occasional molly.

[Cocaine80s]

They poppin mollys because they have regular jobs. These guys are multimillionaires under contract, so why the ignorance?

Or do you not get it...

lol wtf


Just because youre a millionaire you cant do drugs?

I hate to break it to you but most rich folk are more likely to be on some type of drug

[ProfessorMurder]

Don't act like Nick Young partying and drinking is super healthy either.

[Fudge]

I do lines of coke just for fun.

Usually when OKC loses. Or when Durant has a bad game.

You missed the point. I'll allow you to think.

Their professional athletes under a legal multi million contract that specifically states that you cannot consume illegal substances. Furthermore, in any future contract negotiation this will get brought up. Kiss any endorsement goodbye as well.

Brandon Jennings is 24, has regressed, has a career fg% under 40, and has been traded once.


So yes it is pretty damn ignorant. it's why athletes go broke. And what i'm getting at is, how much does drugs and the temptations off the court play into it? More then we think.


And don't alter my point either, how does comparing Jennings to a rich white america have anything remotely to do with what i'm asking in the OP.


You're dismissed.

[el gringos]

What other reasons are there

[BigBoss]

Don't act like Nick Young partying and drinking is super healthy either.

It's a lesser of 2 evils, but i agree. That's why I said he should look to Kobe for mentorship to get to the next level. A lot of times it's just personal i.e. quit partying, get serious about the big picture..

[SCdac]

Being a multi millionnaire doesn't change the fact that Jennings is 24 years old and basically on summer break (similar to a teacher's break from school). and NBA players been using drugs for decades. I mean who wouldn't want to drop acid with Bill Walton? or smoke a joint with Kareem? lol

bruh you act like NBA players are the only people under contract. There are millions of workers under contract that probably consume illegal substances.

btw u must be a pistons fan for being so butthurt about this

Wow insidehoops is dense.

Let's replace the word multi million, with being in a legal contractual agreement with a billion dollar organization that employs and provides for your livelihood that forbids drug use.


And your explanation is what seperates alpha/beta, successful and unsuccessful people. Jennings is beta. As are you

I don't feel like debating with you anymore. I'm smarter then you and have nothing to gain from this.

i dont feel like arguing with a beta who has an obsession with Lebron :roll:

[Adam Silver]

Incorrect. LaMarcus Aldridge informed me that no NBA players smoke marijuana.

[BigBoss]

i dont feel like arguing with a beta who has an obsession with Lebron :roll:

I don't care for Lebron. I actually think he's a great player and a standup guy off-the court.

It's his stans I want to expose. The gutter of insidehoops.

A drug is, in the broadest of terms, a chemical substance that has known biological effects on humans or other animals. Foods are generally excluded from this definition, in spite of their physiological effects on animal species.

Alcohol is a drug.
Caffeine is a drug.

Seriously, the government and society have really done a number on all you sheep. It's crazy that "drugs" are illegal. Why? Why is smoking marijuana illegal?? Why?

Why is Alcohol Legal?? Makes no sense.

So many people drink and drive and get DUI's and people die but yet alcohol is fine. They keep selling it, legally.!
Insane. IF you don't think it has anything to do with the government, money etc you're kidding yourself.

There's no way that alcohol is safer than weed.

[HomieWeMajor]

Not as bad as it was in the 70s/80s where you had MVPs like Moses Malone developing a speech impediment because of his coke habit but still some players use. D Wade holds a drug party every summer on his yacht for people in his inner circle.

Because the government isn't in the car insurance business. they're not the ones paying for the cost and damages!

Rich, fit, good looking twenty something alpha males???

Of course they will party from time to time. Its not as bad as the 90s and early century but there are still plenty of people partying.

Hard drugs I would say very rare, maybe a line or two in the best company (coke is out your system in 48 hours), some probably puff a fair amount of ganj, pills like E they probably don't test for so maybe on occasion, I am sure a few even tripped on acid or shrooms during the summer.

booze, lots of booze when they booze, probably play about 2 or 3 games hungover a year, most likely only hit it hard when they have a day or two off to recoup.

You don't think plenty of these guys are shovelling down the pain pills come the end of the season, when they are banged up and having to play the most important games of the year?


Anyway, OP=retard, if no one has mentioned that yet.
