Phil Jackson, New York, 1973-74
Jackson was an unconventional dude long before he became one of the NBA's most celebrated coaches. In his 1975 book "Maverick: More Than a Game," Jackson claimed that some LSD he gobbled for breakfast in Malibu in May 1973 lent his game a boost. The shaggy-haired Knicks forward said the "spiritual flash" he experienced that day on the beach gave him a new love for the sport and a deeper appreciation of team play. He credited it with making 1973-74 the most productive season of his career, as he averaged 11.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.
Phil Jackson's pretending he's on a roller coaster.
Not condoning or recommending anyone do this, especially you youngsters.

I remember that game. The dude was running the fastest I have ever seen him run in the open floor. Reports are he thought he was being attacked by a dragon.

That hippie really got his act together thanks to Tex Winter and some serious superstar manpower.

Carmelo took LSD before his 62 point game. True Story.
