why wont this 80 million dollar NBA star admit he tokes up? anthony carmelo

see the reason he doesnt, is because he wants that 80 million, i dont care how PRO-marijuana you are if someone said hey keep quiet that you toke and we'll give you 80 mil, your gunna take it

no it is not like playing for the NBA while drunk!

it's just a little ganja, and if you've got 80 million dollars, that's enough even if they fired you

Exactly, thats why he wont say it :p.

because it is easier to keep the lies about marijuana going, especially if his liveliehood depends upon it.

he better donate some of that money to NORML!

I wouldn't share any of my ganja or hash with him.

Snoop doesn't work for David Stern. The league has strict rules, and I might be going out on a limb here when I say this, but Melo would probably opt to play basketball over getting high and not making $80 million dollars.

He's a celebrity, yes, but not your typical Hollywood film star. He has to report to a boss, of a sort - his coach. Until he either retires or goes to play in the CFL (ahemm, Ricky Williams :)), then it's literally insane to come out supporting and even admitting to smoking weed.

he's an asshole in my book, a fraidy cat!

hes smart and not an addict

Seriously, take his situation as a special one, and then think about it.

Would you seriously give up $80 million dollars to feel better about yourself after admitting your toking ways to the world? In the long run, him not doing that isn't going to set back the movement any further.

Look what happened to ricky williams after they found out about his weed issues....thats enough reason why carmelo shouldnt own up

and quoting ricky williams...
