LeBron used to smoke weed in high school

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James smoked marijuana during his junior year in high school. Three other members of the Akron St. Vincent St. Mary starting five smoked with him. Another drank alcohol.

All this took place in a hotel room in Akron the players "had gotten access to," in the guarded words of "Shooting Stars," a book to be released in September. It amounts to James' life story through his tumultuous high school years.

Before getting judgmental about this, it is wise to remember the players were teenagers. Those who were saints as young men and women can cast the first stone. In his NBA career, James has never been in serious trouble with the law. http://www.cleveland.com/livingston/index.ssf/2009/07/new_lebron_james_book_tells_of.html

Who hasn't?

[Leetonidas]

Is this a surprise to anyone? No big deal.

[IronMexican]

Who didn't. The media(Skip Bayless) might make a story out of this non-story.

[BUMP]

If David Stern wasn't such a pussy, he'd make sure Lebron didn't touch another basketball in his life!

[balli]

I'd be concerned if he hadn't ever smoked weed. Look what happened to Kobe.

Everyone smokes pot in HS and college.

I remember this kid used to stick his head in his sweater every 10 seconds to smoke a joint while we were on the track. The coach knew it since he made it so obvious but never did shit. Probably b.c he does it too

[La Peace]

Get proof that he did meth or shot heroin, and maybe you have a story. But weed? Give me a break.

If weed is good enough for slick willy it's good enough for the king. In fact, I'd be more impressed if instead of throwing chalk in the air before games, he'd fire up a blunt and create a cloud of smoke aka 'up in smoke' with Cheech and Chong.

Some Cav fan claims that LeBron at parties in HS would arrive and say something like "whos fucking me tonight?". Either that fan has a some fantasies about LB's sex life or he's telling the truth.

[Gervin44Silas13]

BIG DEAL.....if these guys want to piss thier $ away let them.

Just don't be under the infulence when you get into a accident kill or maim someone and your azz gets sued!

[Rogue]

It's open secret weed is widely being used by NBA players and many other guys beyond this industry who have also got sufficient fund. It's just the sense of honesty that makes them seem different, some admit to smoke weed while others deny it, but their weed addiction by no means can hide its tail through a blood test.

Oh yeah, this is bad PR. Smoking marijuana is just as bad as getting accused of sexual assault by some hotel worker in Nevada.

[Thunder Dan]

write a book about him doing coke off a strippers' ass in the locker room and then you have yourself a story

Who cares as long as he doesnt do it now ...

[urunobili]

James reveals struggles with prep fame in new book (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-lebronsbook&prov=ap&type=lgns)
By Tom Withers

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.

Those are two of the revelations in a book chronicling James’ rise from Akron, 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.”

In the book, scheduled for release in September, the NBA’s reigning MVP recounts the media circus that enveloped his final two years at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School following his SI cover appearance. James said he and close friends Dru Joyce, Sian Cotton, Romeo Travis and Willie McGee—nicknamed the Fab Five—became “rock stars” and took advantage of their celebrity.

“I was arrogant, dubbing myself “The Chosen One,” James said. “In hindsight, I should have kept quiet, but I also was what I was, a teenager where every reporter in the world seemed to be rushing toward me at once.”

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

James feels he was unfairly targeted by the media, which he described as “excited spectators at a car crash” after it was learned that his mother, Gloria, obtained a loan to buy him a $50,000 Hummer for his birthday. He said the scrutiny was humiliating for his mother, who was living with him in a rental-assistance apartment.

“Was the vehicle excessive, with its bank of three televisions? Maybe. Probably. Of course it was,” James said. “So were the BMWs parked in the St. V lot, belonging to fellow students. But nobody ever questioned those.”

James also recounts being suspended by the Ohio High School Athletic Association for accepting two throwback jerseys as gifts from a Cleveland area clothing store. He describes the OHSAA as “ravenous” and is highly critical of former commissioner Clair Muscaro.

James said Muscaro, whose suspension of him was later reduced in court, wanted to put James and his school “in our place. … “this was a witch hunt, one-man posse’s attempt to humiliate me, subject me to ridicule, rip open rumors that I was corrupt and ruin a dream.”

James said the experiences drew he and his friends closer and proved to be valuable life lessons, many of which he attributes to “karma.”

James and Bissinger focus almost entirely on James’ final two years of high school and do not delve into his early career with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bissinger is best known for “Friday Night Lights,” a bestseller on Texas’ obsession with high school football.
