    That time Gregg Popovich gave Stephen Jackson the choice between smoking weed and a championship

    https://www.yahoo.com/sports/time-gr...151001226.html



    Jackson: “I remember playing great, and after the last game, we’re just sitting there, and Pop was like, ‘I need to talk to you.’ He was like, ‘Jack, you had a great summer league, you’re playing well, I really want you on my team, but there’s only one way you’re going to make my team: During the season, you can’t smoke weed, Jack. You just can’t do it. I need you focused. I need you on your game, because you know we have a chance to win a championship, and I need you focused.’

    “And once he told me that, I shut it down. I shut it down. The NBA was way more important than weed. Trust me.”

    I bet he smoked weed as a Spur. Maybe he smoked less weed. I know plenty of Spurs have smoked weed in the past.

    Blair had to have smoked weed. He needed munchies to aid him in consuming his 8 daily Whataburger double meat sandwiches

    Tony will say, " So I shut it down and refused to sleep with any of my teammates wives...during basketball season!"

    You're being paid millions. If you can't give up the weed for those bucks, that is a sign you're an addict and maybe should be giving it up anyway.

    I find it funny that Pop tells guys to quit smoking because he needs them focused, yet the guy drinks all the time.

    Does this mean we're only signing unathletic soft white Euros now? Or white American neckbeard nerds?

    Pop's done well to ease tensions with Jack since cutting him IMO. I can't see another coach cutting him & still talking to each other. He's still got a bit of a grudge against Danny, but it's not his fault he got minutes ahead of him in 2013. He was miles better than him on both ends.

    This only proves pop ok with it. He said during the season to not smoke it. The offseason is the players time to indulge.

    My guess is Pop would go easy on the wine if he was running up and down the court.

    Just not when he's coaching?
