What should we think of this? Do they really take the game so lightly now?

I enjoy my cigars as well. You don't inhale, doesn't hurt your conditioning at all. Enjoy gentlemen

Red Auerbach would approve.

JR Smith drinking what must be a healthy energy drink to keep in top form as this pick was famously taken during the playoffs.

There's a difference doing it before or after a game than during a game at halftime like in the 70's. Also I'm pretty sure before the season players would drink and smoke in the 70's as well as during games.
