Is Tim Duncan a pothead?

[e20dylan]

As an aside, whenever I play pickup basketball, I am MUCH MORE effective if I'm stoned. Don't know how that works. I guess my right brain just takes over and I go on pure instinct.

I'm a better driver when I'm high. I don't speed, I observe all traffic laws with much better precision and I can focus better. Other things, not so much. I can't play chess very well when I'm stoned. Ordinarily I can see 4 or 5 moves ahead, but when I'm high that goes down to about 1 or 2 moves.

The thing about pot is that if you become a pothead, it dims the work ethic. It's mostly harmless, but anything done to excess will have consequences.

Isn't Duncan married with kids? I doubt he's a pothead in that case.

you think people stop smoking weed when they get married and have kids? even more reason to smoke man.

[remingtonbo2001]

Fantastic.

You're probably a safer driver when you're drunk too, huh?

Being drunk and being high (marijuana) are completely different.

I prefer people drive sober. However, I prefer the stoned driver over the drunk driver anyday of the week.

You can't do that much damage driving 10mph.

I agree here. Far LESS ROAD RAGE too. (at least for me)

rubba donga mate!

best investment ive ever made

I'm pretty thorough in my Duncan info. I don't think he's a heavy/regular pot smoker now and probably not the last few years. College is a lifetime ago, whatever occured there is history.

I once asked this question when him and Antonio Daniels were on the boat (float) their first championship parade. He walked pasted us and his eyes were blood-shot red, plus he and AD were giggling the whole time.

I remember asking my boys......"Doesn't he look high?" We laughed at the notion and gave him the benefit of the doubt (even to this day).

I don't think he smokes, that wouldn't be TD.

[ClingingMars]

i'd be disappointed in tim. but eh, he's probably done it before.

Is this really the best you could come up with ballijuana?

Lay off the hocus-pocus dude......

I grew up with this guy Jackson Vroman who played in the league for a couple of seasons. He told me that Steve Nash (and a lot of players) played games high all the time. Like running out to their cars before tip-off high.

I think marijuana could be very detrimental, but I also think it depends on the person's ability to operate under stoned cir stances. I think Sheeds probably got some anger & other issues in his life, other than being a pothead, that have kept him down. Still, in his case, I'm sure all the weed hasn't helped.


Probably makes the most sense. I forgot he's in his 30's. That gets old after a few years.

my friend knows shaq. word is, among others, that our own damon stoudamire lights up a little before games because he gets nervous and it just helps take the edge off.

and, yeah, it's not uncommon at all.

[Mugshot]

Oh and they get randomly tested up to 4 times a year, plus they can be tested at any time if there is "reasonable cause" to think they are on drugs.

does that include offseason?

[ClingingMars]

It's definitely a problem that the league needs to work on. It's an illegal activity, no better than any other crime.

I could see Duncan smoking a little weed. I don't think it's that big of a deal culturally where he comes from...

Then again, I could also see him not smoking it.


In any case, I doubt he smokes a j right before a game or anything



Really though, I don't think Duncan is a partier or stoner at all. He's definitely not partying during the regular season...he's too consistent.

You can tell the guys that party because they'll have games where they just drag ass for half the game...

Rasho
Beno
Tony
Elson


I'm not sure about Manu...he drags ass from time to time, but he also gets pretty beat up so it's understandable.

[greens]

He has a wife and two young children. Plus, he's very busy with basketball 24/7. Where would he find the time? No way!

crofl

pops in a smoking circle, staying quiet with his eyes all shifty

the other people in the room freaking out about cia pop

I dont buy this argument. It's not like he's got to make an appointment or take a long trip to find somewhere to smoke pot. The process can take less than 5 mintues.

If you have time to go to the restroom to take a deuce, you have time to smoke a bowl...or blunt.

The fact that you can get prescriptions for it in CA does make it A LOT different than other "crimes." I wouldnt necessarily compare murder or rape to smoking pot with Tony Parker while playing NBA Live.

Yes 'cuz smoking weed is just as bad as raping or killing.

[Behrooz24]

He and Mighty Mouse are best friends now

you would be dissapointed? ROFL what a

[ancestron]

That's the thing. It's just a hunch, but I think it's a good one. He's not going out to clubs, cheating on his wife with groupies or getting hammered drunk. I could see him however, coming home from shootaround, kissing his wife o and taking a bong snap before spending two hours on call of duty 4.

Yeah he's a stoner. He usually calls me up about once a week looking for that northern CA kind, since I can get it for about 30 bucks cheaper than Horry's guy. Whenever he has a game coming up he's usually kinda freakin out, but he manages to appear cool. He doesn't play call of duty either, he plays star wars battlefront, and goes by the name nottyDREADLOCKrasta. He likes that good one hitter quitter stuff so it doesnt effect his respiratory system very much, cuz he does have to run a lot at work.

[duncan228]

Nicely done ancestron.

Or more specifically, is Tim Duncan one of the biggest potheads in the NBA? I've always wondered about this, but not being local to San Antonio, I don't hear much about Duncan.

I know he has this squeaky clean image, but I can't help but think that he would be. First off, he's from an island nation and consequently still acts as chill as that upbringing probably affords. Secondly, I know video games are his favorite activity. Third, when it comes down to it, potheads are usually pretty dorky and Timmy D is definitely that. Fourth, I'm a huge pothead myself and I'd like to think I'm intuitive enough to recognize my own kind. Other than that I have no concrete reasons for wondering. Can anyone in San Antonio shed some light on this for me?

You are dishonest - and what a wonderful way to start a rumor. Character assassination at its finest. You are truly s .

[Tek_XX]

I'm going to go out on a huge limb and say YES tim has smoked weed before. Does he do it now, nobody here knows so it's all speculation. But it wouldn't suprise me considering he's from the "islands" and his demeanor is really laid back.

I'm all for marijuana legalization.

[ancestron]

damn.

chill out man.

here, smoke this...

[mbass]

Exactly. It's funny that people think it would impact athletic performance negatively. I wouldn't say I play any better high, but I certainly don't play worse. And when it comes to driving, I like you, am about a million times safer and more relaxed on the road while stoned. If I don't smoke I speed, get road rage and accelerate towards red lights and such.

Sounds as tho you have some big time problems.
