Wow sucks for him. Hopefully he can get back on track. Not knowing the situation and how often teams are drug testing, but players obviously know they are going to be tested. I can't wrap my mind about how you have this opportunity that almost anyone would want and somehow you cannot stay away from banned substances.

So this has to be something other than pot, right? I think the NBA is just ignoring MJ use and has done for years.

It's the cliché of someone being rich and powerful but still unhappy. Or if it's more systemic, being in such an opportunity does not lessen addiction or desire to act out. Many times it actually makes it works.

For some reason, he believed his actions were in his best interest. He rolled the dice with chaos and he lost.

I bet Sammy slipped a little something in his drink at some nba function. Just trying to thin the herd. Good for him, cutting throats to get ahead.

Without knowing, I have to think this is PED related, not recreational drug related, especially not weed.
