An important topic that concerns quite more hoopers than someone would think. That is why i share these thoughts from a very experienced Basketball legend, who once played professionally himself and is still educated young kids nowadays - Joe Asberry aka Coach JumpingJoe
Take the following as advice or as Coach JumpingJoe said himself "I´m all comedy,thats me,but i hope i can help ball players with the mistakes i made,if not,those dumb asses will watch a career wash right down a DRAIN"
"10 Reason´s why the serious balla should not smoke Weed"
1. It destroys your long and short term memory!
2. You won´t be able to remember the plays your coach wants you to run.
3. It will ruin your condition,you need your lungs to be able to run in that 4th quarter.
4. It will ruin your ability to drive and lean on the autobahn in Germany when you´re in a big 5 series beemer racing at 130 mph(Yep thats what i was cooking at this morning) Or the car the club gives you to drive
5. You will have to double check every thing before you leave your crib to go to work when you´re a ogee. Do i have my keys to the gym? Do i have the basketball´s?
6. DRUG TESTS! The team´s here in Germany will give you a test to make sure you´re clean. You don´t want to throw away your paper or a chance to get a foot in the door because you were smoking blunts and drinking 40´s with your mans and dem who are not working at the moment.Not hating on your mans and dem at all,they probably have a job making more then i do,but they also gotta dodge the po po´s i can write a book about it! LMFAO
7. Those BLOOD SHOT EYES! Every body is going to know you´re blunted.
8. Danger! I blew my first J when i was 13 with the vato´s George Luna and Pauncho Luna. My big homey Mike found out and tryed to knock off my dome,i should have recieved danger pay for that J.
9. You won´t be able to do DRUG PREVENTION! I get paid to play horse with kids and tell them don´t smoke weed and the paper is good! I gotta stay clean now,so i don´t knock my hustle.
10. Last but not least, in some places its illegal and you can catch a case. So think about being locked up with a beast like TOOKIE AND YOU IN FOR A FAKE ASS WEED CASE! LMFAO!
