LAMAR ODOM
NOT THE ONLY NBA DRUG USER
EXCLUSIVE
Lamar Odom is not the only basketball player who was high on drugs during the season -- not by a long shot, TMZ has learned.
Multiple NBA-connected sources tell TMZ ... the big problem is that the league is only allowed to test players 4 times during a season. Because testing is randomized, the last test can be administered as early as January, and the season lasts for months thereafter. As one recently-retired NBA player put it, after the 4th test, "It's like Christmas Day. We can take whatever we want."
One NBA-connected source says pot is "ubiquitous" in the sport. The source adds, however, that most athletes who indulge do so in moderation so it doesn't have a perceptible impact on their performance. An NBA rep tells us ... weed is not only prevalent, it's hardly hidden -- he says the hotel rooms where the players stay, and even the halls, have the telltale smell.
The players we've spoken with all agree ... pot is prevalent. But some of the players say Lean -- Sprite and Codeine cough syrup -- has become a recreational drug of choice during the season. One player said it was even used during the recent playoffs.
One current and famous player tells TMZ, he estimates 30% of his fellow NBAers use hard drugs -- including Molly, Ecstasy, and Lean -- at some point during the season. He says he's never been aware of anyone doing cocaine during the season.
Another current and famous player tells us he estimates only 10% of NBA players use hard drugs, and no one uses cocaine during the season -- it's too risky. He also says Lean is a drug of choice.
An NBA source agrees -- he estimates 10-15% of the players use hard drugs during the season.
One NBA insider believes the drug use problem has gotten better over the last 5 years because of social media. He says players have been burned because pictures of them doing things they shouldn't be show up on Instagram and Facebook, and it's inhibited them.

omg what a scoop
But srsly there must be some typos in this article
What they meant is that Michael Beasley uses 30% of the hard drugs consumed by NBA athletes
better to get high and not cause anyone trouble, unlike a certain alleged begger and rapists
relax my friend...how do you think we typically get ahead in America...cheating is the American way and always has been....the goal as an American is for us to put a nice bow on it. fake it, and mislead people...that is what being an American is all about and I say that in all honesty....and rememba the old cliche if you're not cheating...you're not trying
half these dudes look blazed during games
worst part about these rules is how they are administered. do they go after a serious moneymaker or go after scrubs or people that are in the way. we all know that the Showtimes Lakers were partying hard, Magic even began ing trannies and taking it in the ass, yet the league came down hard on the Houston Rockets for drugs. It's a convenient way to give Stern et al more control.
like fining the spurs 250k, when other teams have rested players.
turkoglu gets busted for PED's but Wade doesn't
Might want to check your headline... "It's like Christmas Day" ≠ "After Christmas Day"
How hard is it to copy and paste crappy quote from crappy article correctly?
I would say let athletes go crazy with steroids because it will increase the quality of the average player, but many athletes are idiots who would play a game after taking 300mcg of clenbuterol.
That's why teams need to keep them s busy with the games all year round imho.
Well maybe if the ing regular season wasnt so long, they wouldnt be so bored
