Rodney Buford- that is. :)


Former NBA player Rodney Buford was banned for three months by the international basketball federation on Wednesday for testing positive for cannabis, and already has served nearly all of that suspension.
Buford, who plays for Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv, had been temporarily banned since Feb. 2 and will be eligible to return next Wednesday.

FIBA officials said cannabis was discovered in Buford's doping sample after a Euroleague game against Cibona Zagreb last November.

Buford, who attended Creighton, played for the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings and New Jersey Nets. He also has played for teams in Greece, Italy and Ukraine.

He never stops smoking weed. That's why he's not in the NBA.

Nah. The retirements of Marcus Bryant, FunkTiger, and f7 have already hurt this team too much. We can't lose any more of the core. :hat

You mean, Ghost Writer, not Marcus Bryant, right?

MB still posts (just not as himself).

I talked to Ghost Writer via email the other day. He's busy with work, wife, and baby, but he promised he's going to come post a little bit soon.

FunkTiger is someone who I thought would never stick to his retirement from SR back in the day, but he did.

Yeah , I know... but MB retires so often it still has an effect. Casper's missed too, but I think he's just gone into hiding after Tony Parker made 2 all-star teams and Gary Payton turned into Chris Whitney.
