We've got a live one: LeBron admits to smoking pot in younger days

EVERYONE smokes weed at some point unless

A. Their God/parent tells them not to, and they actually listen (rare)
B. They have a built in fear factor when it comes to breaking the law (less rare)
C. They are totally against smoking in general (common)
You need a new one (or more). I've never smoked weed, or smoked anything, and I don't fit any of those 3.

The reason I've never done it definitely wasn't religion. I mean, I've done other thing that were against my religion. My parents?

I've done things that were against the law. I'm no Jesse James, but... it's not B.

I'm not against smoking, but I am against smoking for ME.

It just... never appealed to me. The idea of being out of sorts, whether drunk or high or whatever, has just... never appealed to me.

So what's D?

@ LeBlunt and LeBong

Damn, how many nicknames does this dude have?

LeBronze was the very first one I remember.

LeBronze: From before last summer, when the only Olympic experience he had so far was 2 bronze medals
LeBrick: From not being a great shooter
LeCrab:

LeTape:

From the confiscated tape of him being dunked on at his skills camp
LeConfiscate: Same situation that brought LeTape
LeTravel: Started a couple years into the league, after it became apparent that he was allowed 7 steps
LeBlunt
LeBong

I know there are tons more. "Bring 'em out, bring 'em out."

 

[eneyekayee]

Ska, you are missing @ least 200+ "Le_'s"

EDIT: the one that actually gets me

is this dude that always goes"Le pussssssssss assssssssss"

 

[darthska]

^ I'm saying.

I know some people hate all the LeNicknames, but I love 'em.

 

[CP1708]

LeBong is friggin golden.

 

[eneyekayee]

^ He most likely wasn't using a bong though.

It was prolly morelike LeBlunt, LeJoint or LeDoobie

...

 

[wasps and asps]

LeConfiscate

 

[the natural mystic]

LeConfiscate is my favorite. I might make a sign and display it when he comes to town to play the wizards.

James admits pot use in book

CLEVELAND -- LeBron James struggled with sudden fame after appearing on Sports Illustrated's cover as a 17-year-old and admits he smoked marijuana during his junior year in high school.

James

Those are two of the revelations in a book chronicling James' rise from Ohio hoops prodigy to NBA superstar.

In "Shooting Stars," written by James and co-author Buzz Bissinger, James said the SI cover and the media attention he and his high school teammates received was difficult to handle.

"We had become big-headed jerks, me in particular," James said, "and we are to blame for that, but so are adults who treated us that way and then sat back and smugly watched the self-destruction."

James also revealed he and his teammates smoked marijuana one night after getting access to a hotel room in Akron.

good to see he's changed since then

I don't see why people are gasping at this %*% now, I think it was his junior year in HS, SI or ESPN the mag did a whole story on it and he admitted itthen???

if he was still smoking now, then it's a story....this was 7-8 years ago. No biggie.

 

[JD617]

The only guys in the league that I would believe never smoked weed even once are Kobe and Shane Battier.
