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

Every NBA player smokes weed and pops the occasional molly.

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

Or do you not get it...

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.

I do lines of coke just for fun.

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

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.

What other reasons are there

[BigBoss]

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.
