OG Edit

Yo, if you’re wondering why Andy Gibb’s “Shadow Dancing” track is chilling on this page, let me fill you in.

All the videos are amazing but I find that this track playing in the background while watching the “OG Edit” video is straight money. So mute that sucker and hop on this track while Nyjah Huston shadow dances all over the scene.

The Dopest NBA Stoners in Basketball History

The Dopest NBA Stoners in Basketball History | Third Monk image 5

The NBA doesn’t test for cannabis in the offseason for a good reason, approximately 90% of the NBA’s players smoke cannabis on a regular basis.

Joe Dumars described the NBA stoners’ love for cannabis best in a 1997 NY Times interview:

If they tested for pot, there would be no league.

Steve Nash, LA Lakers

While Steve Nash and his Canadian heritage made for the obvious choice, there’s also some truth to the “Nash smokes weed cause he’s Canadian” myth. A Weedmaps source was at a club celebrating Jason Richardson’s birthday when Nash (playing in Phoenix with J-Rich and Amare at the time) suddenly turned to him. The club smelled like bud, so Nash asked him if he had a bowl. In astonishment, the source asked if he smoked.

Nash’s response: “I’m from Vancouver, bro.”

If that’s not enough, he rocks Bob Marley shirts after games and once made this stoner video with Hall of Fame Stoner Baron Davis. And there isn’t a nicer dude in the league.

Joakim Noah, Chicago Bulls

This is Joakim Noah’s refrigerator:

Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors

blog_klay_thompson_dubs

Klay made it rain in Pullman throughout his college career, setting the single-season scoring record. When he wasn’t lighting it up from way downtown, he used his calm, smooth stroke to roll the smoothest joints in Washington.

True to subsequent from, Klay was caught with a dub bag of less than 2 grams and continues to bring a Kush attitude to the court next to Steph Curry in Nor Cal.

JR Smith, New York Knicks

JR-Smith-Blunt

When he’s not throwing up ill-advised shots as the clock winds down, JR Smith lays the pipe. Smith is the only NBA stoner that started this year suspended the first five games for violating the league’s substance abuse program–which is pretty hard to do when all sources report it’s only for weed.

Ty Lawson, Denver Nuggets

Ty Lawson plays for one of only two states that allow recreational marijuana and owns a Hookah that he touted on Instagram as a “New addition to the family.”

de5cbbe2196511e29f8e22000a1d0105_7

Ty later clarified: “for y’all dummies it’s hookah not weed.” We used to tell our mom that too.

Zach Randolph, Memphis Grizzlies (ex-Blazer)

5x67p4

In 2010, Randolph was busted for selling pounds of weed across Indianapolis. Then, just two years later in 2012, Z-Bo had his entourage throw a weed dealer (who Randolph had invited over) out of his party because he was charging too much for weed.

Honorable Mentions:

national_bong_association_sticker_big

LeBron James, Miami Heat

Initially, LeBron was honest about his flirtation with bud, admitting he “experimented” in high school. During the 2012 playoff run, LeBron was caught on camera hitting a vaporizer. He later claimed that it was an “E-Cigarette”.

Michael Beasley, Miami Heat

Beasley was caught getting high with Mario Chalmers his first week in the NBA and hasn’t stopped since.  The record-setter for busts while in the league and managing to stay in the league, but not the best poster boy for medical marijuana. He probably smokes more than other nba stoners but he sucks.

Marcus Camby, Retired

Camby was a defensive expert for years in the NBA, thanks to his healthy Kush diet

Cliff Robinson, Retired

A USC stoner graduate who liked smoking weed so much that he was suspended from the NBA playoffs for getting too damn high.

Rasheeeeed Wallace & Damon Stoudamire, Retired

In 2002, Stoudamire “hesitantly” admitted they had been getting high in a car. They stated that “we smoked it all up.” The cops reply: “unfortunately they obviously hadn’t.”

Charles Oakley, Retired

Constantly jokes about the NBA’s stoners and also owns a bunch of car washes.

Top 10 Greatest Stoner Athletes of All Time

Top 10 Greatest Stoner Athletes of All Time | Third Monk image 10

Weed makes everything better including catching touchdowns passes, submitting opponents, and winning gold medals. Cannabis is the best option for athletes who want to rest and recover, eventually you’re going to see team doctors carry ounces of herb with them on team flights. Here is our list of top ten stoner athletes who represent for their favorite plant.

10. Rasheed Wallace

Sport (Years Played): Basketball (1993-2010)
Accolades: 2004 NBA Champion, 4x NBA All-Star

Famous for holding the NBA single-season record for technical fouls (he committed 41 in 2000-01), ‘Sheed is less well known for being one of the savvier players during his 15-year career (flipping the script on the laid back but dumb pothead stereotype). He was arrested with fellow Blazer Damon Stoudamire and charged with weed possession in 2002.

 

9. Mark Stepnoski

Sport (Years Played): Football (1986-2001)
Accolades: 2x Super Bowl Champion (1993 and 1996), 4x Pro Bowl (1992-1996), named to the NFL 1990s All-Decade team

You’ve got some smokers who only feel motivated to hit up their weed man to re-up and then you have others who are really all about the movement. Mark Stepnoski is a member of the latter group. After his football career, which included a couple Super Bowl rings with the Cowboys, Stepnoski has put his focus on advocating the legalization of marijuana. He’s a member of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws), Stepnoski’s public support of the group led his alma mater—a Catholic high school—to rescind his nomination for their hall of fame despite Mark’s success on the field. Eh, their loss.

 

8. Rob Van dam

Sport (Years Played): Pro Wrestling (1990-present)
Accolades: 2x ECW World Tag Team Champion, WWE Heavyweight Champion

Rob Van Dam has amazed wrestling audiences around the world with his aerial athleticism and martial arts skills. Throughout his wrestling career, Rob Van Dam rarely hesitated to voice his affection for cannabis — coining the popular catch-phrase, “Nobody gets higher than Rob Van Dam”. RVD was stripped of his WWE World title following his arrest for minor marijuana possession. RVD is open about his marijuana use and the need to reform America’s cannabis laws, frequently discussing the issue on his live radio show.

Our federal government prohibited this organic plant based on lies, continues to classify it among the most dangerous drugs to validate billions in funding pointless agendas, and denies it’s medical value, causing countless lives to suffer needlessly. How can anyone not care?

7. Dock Ellis

Sport (Years Played): Baseball (1968-1979)
Accolades: 1971 All-Star team, 1971 World Series champion, 1976 A.L. Comeback Player of the Year, No-Hitter thrown on 6/12/1970

Dock Ellis is most famous for having thrown a no-hitter while high on LSD, but he was an all-around badass baseball player, who famously did not take shit from anyone (he once intentionally hit three of the first five batters in a game).

 

6. Tim Lincecum

Sport (Years Played): Baseball (2004-present)
Accolades: 2x NL Cy Young Award winner, 2010 World Series Champion, 4x All-Star

If the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) ever starts a PETA-style celebrity campaign, Tim Lincecum would be a perfect pitchman. He looks like a stoner, talks like a stoner, has a stoner nickname (“The Freak”), and, judging by the misdemeanor pot charge he picked up in November 2009, probably is a stoner. And he’s really, really, really good at what he does. In his first four full seasons in the majors, Lincecum’s logged more than 200 innings each year, and led the National League in strikeouts three times. He’s done it all with a frame many scouts considered too small for a power pitcher, and with an unorthodox delivery that many of those same scouts thought would lead to injury. Think an occasional puff has anything to do with his prowess?

 

5. Nick Diaz

Sport (Years Played): MMA (2001-present)
Accolades: 27-7; Former Strikeforce Welterweight Champion

If there’s one group of athletes who deserve a pass when it comes to a little recreational toking, it’s gotta be MMA fighters. These dudes are subjected to some of the most brutal indignities in organized sports, and yet they’re not allowed to get high now and again? One of MMA’s respected and rising stars, Nick Diaz is known as Captain Cannabis and beloved by members of the MMA stoner community like Joe Rogan.

 

4. Ricky Williams

Sport (Years Played): Football (1995-2011)
Accolades: 1998 Heisman Trophy, 2002 1st team All Pro, 2002 Pro Bowl MVP, 10,000 Rushing Yards Club member

Football x marijuana = Ricky Williams. No other athlete has ever received as much coverage and created as much controversy for their marijuana use as the stoner NFL running back. Ricky’s love of the ganja led to his first retirement in August of 2004. This decision came as Williams had already reportedly failed three drug tests and was facing a one-year ban from the NFL. While away from the league, he studied holistic medicine at the California College of Ayurveda that fall in Grass Valley, Calif and openly used marijuana saying it was a form of psychotherapy treatment for his social anxiety disorder.

 

3. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Sport (Years Played): Bodybuilding (1968-1980)
Accolades: 1968 Mr. Universe, 7x Mr. Olympia (1970-1975, 1980)

The same man with one of the craziest life stories ever (bodybuilder/actor/governor) has also been one of the biggest influences on the marijuana movement in this country. Aside from lighting up back in his younger days, Schwarzenegger changed the whole game in 2011 when, while serving as California governor, he reduced the charge for carrying an ounce or less of marijuana to an infraction rather than a misdemeanor. Meaning people found with that amount would only face a fine of $100 and would not have the offense appear on their criminal record.

 

2. Randy Moss

Sport (Years Played): Football (1996-present)
Accolades: 1998 Offensive Rookie of the Year, 7x Pro Bowler, Record for most TDs in a season (23), Fifth on the All-Time TD list (154) and All-Time Receiving Yards list (14,858)

Randy Moss was the cool stoner version of T.O. and Chad Ochochinco before those guys were making headlines for their antics. Back in ’96, before reporting to jail to serve a 30-day sentence for a battery conviction, Moss lit up an L and later tested positive for THC during his bid. As a result, his sentence was extended by 60 days, Florida State revoked Moss’ scholarship, and he was subsequently dismissed from the university. Moss had another positive test—administered by the NFL—in 2001 but he passed on the other tests throughout his career despite admitting to using the drug in a 2005 interview with Bryant Gumbel.

 

1. Michael Phelps

Sport (Years Played): Swimming (2002-present)
Accolades: 22 Olympic medals including 18 gold

Ahh, the most infamous bong rip in sports history. After becoming a media sensation by winning a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Phelps was seen as an American hero who could pretty much do no wrong. Well, right until a photo of him using a bong at a University of South Carolina house party was released by the British tabloid News of the World in January 2009. As a result, Phelps received a three-month suspension from USA Swimming and Kellogg’s said they would not renew their endorsement of the Olympian. Bad move by Kellogg, Joe Rogan and other stoners love cereal.
