Chalmers, Arthur Caught With Weed/Women At Rookie Camp

Way to start your careers, guys. From Chris Broussard, ESPN.com:

March Madness heroes Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were thrown out of the NBA’s rookie transition program on Wednesday morning after being caught in their hotel room with marijuana and women, according to several sources.

[...]

The players were caught by NBA security at the Doral Arrowwood resort in Rye Brook, N.Y., where 69 of the league’s rookies arrived last night for the four-day seminar in which coaches, referees and former players speak about adapting to the league.

The program prohibits having guests in the hotel rooms.

ESPN originally reported Michael Beasley was also in the room, but has since removed his name from the story. Beasley is not believed to have been involved.

Chalmers and Arthur could be fined $20,000 each. League rules explicitly state a player cannot be suspended for a first marijuana violation. Both players will be required to repeat the program next year.

Arthur was a green room invite while Chalmers was projected to be a first rounder. Not only did they plummet in the Draft, look where they ended up…

BETCATS you should use your brain to figure out whats right or better or good or whatever, not the example a guy you have never seen in person has set

@flux: Isn’t it a bad, bad world we live in?
fluxland

@Art… I am sure! : ) They must have left their medical marijuana licenses back in Alaska.
@BET… I will never be accused of not growing up in the hood.. or living there for that matter.
http://hibachi20.blogspot.com/ RV

@NBK, my apologies, how silly of me to think that you would actually post what you really mean within the first 4 or 5 comments….now i know I have to wait until like the 10th comment to see what you REALLy mean..
fluxland

@Art… terrible and despicable I’d say! What are you gonna do.. right?
NBK

maybe you should watch sesame street and learn how to read cuz ive left like 40 comments

@flux: Another mistake that’s Sarah Palin to blame for? The Alaska thing I mean…

“NBK says:

My point is, that many people dont and NBA players should be good role models.
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

you left 40 comments? I made comment 100,000 on this hear website talkng about how i listen to Myles Davis.
NBK

maybe they arent in the NBA to be Role Models myabe they are there to collect a paycheck and do what they love. Like Charles Barkley said “i am not a role model” but your too young to remember that
fluxland

@Art… well done, Sir!
@BET.. for once I get to reciprocate the amusement! : )
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

i dont know what that word that starts with a r means, but i am glad you realize you are appreciated

OH NO WEED OMFG HOW WILL THEY EVER HELP ME RAISE MY CHILD NOW
NBK

?
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

are you really quoting Chuck on me? Because you can do that, i love Chuck, but he is wrong.
fluxland

BET… as in: for once i get to make you laugh as opposed to you making me laugh most of the time. Ditto Sir ditto!!
Levon J.

Oh yes, the perfect place to do something so dumb. That just shows that some young athletes arent ready for the front line. U give them some money and a lil fame, and they put all that on the line for some prostitutes and drugs. Sweet.
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

and like it or not NBK they are role models. As long as little kids want the Lebron jersey, the Kobe poster, the Iverson shoes, and do it to channel that guy and look at him and aspire to be them, they are role models
NBK

they arent gonna lose anything over what happened but another week next summer
http://hibachi20.blogspot.com/ RV

@NBK, You needed 40 comments to get this point across, “them getting caught means nothing, it isn’t a big deal, it wont affect playing time,
need any other english words to help explain to you that this incident means almost nothing? “…….and yet you didn’t mention it until halfway through those 40 comments…even the kids on Sesame Street are more direct thatn that, and they’re KIDS.
NBK

ok thats fine they can be but my point is they arent there to be role models, and seriously do you think a little kid knows anything about allen iverson and his repeated use of marijuana?
didn’t think so
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

Flux, right back at ya! now is this exchange over NBK?
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

RV nailed you. And yes, they hear the rumors
NBK

no thats just me saying it in simple english so you can understand becuase you obviously cant understand
NBK says:
the fact they got caught with dro does not change anything with their playing time or spots on their bench it is like bill clinton with fat white girls everyone knew he was gettin down but no one was really gonna do anything
which was my second comment
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

if you think little kids dont hear what their parents talk about, your dumb, or the kids are all deaf. I am going with the first one
NBK

ok when your running around on the street tonight ask your little friends if they know about allen iverson and drugs i bet they wont have a clue
http://hibachi20.blogspot.com/ RV

NBK, if you think a team wouldn’t give up on a second round draft pick whos making only 700K a yr on a two yr deal, you’re tripping. that’s exactly why he should be more careful, the Heat didn’t give up much to get him so its easier for them to give him up if he starts making trouble.
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

Bill got impeached dumb@ss. That exsample is flawed because the ‘fat white girls’ impaired his judgement skills dealing with the Blackhawk Down incident. I learned that in Civics last year! Education is great!
fluxland

NBK… if little kids emulate everything these guys do and grow up “trying to be like Mike” how does that not make them role models… wether they like it or not? It comes with the territory.. you can’t just pick and choose what you want out of the perks. Oh.. millions of dollars? Yes, please! Fame, spotlight and attention? Yes, please! Conducting yourself in a manner that is an example to kids? No, thanks! I don’t think so!!
NBK

he didnt get impeached you ignorant child
and no i think the heat will do best for the team in terms of performance not in terms of marijuana, if chalmers had some crack and a real hooker then he would get booted but weed and a groupie like i said will just get him a slap on the wrist
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

and everybody knows how AI gets down. YOu problay never been in the street a day in your life, because if you have you would have seen some real sh!t and you wouldnt be so stupid. Lots of dumb kids grow up channeling ballers. Hell when i was growing up, my first memory is my mom turning on the finals, the last one Jordan played in. He was the man. But my favortie player as a kid was whoever was on the Hornets. I loved them Hornets.
NBK

thats fine they can be romodels i never said they arent but i did say they are not doing what they do to become or be romodels they are doing what they do because its what they want to do
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

and everybody on here knows my mom had a crush on Rick Mahorn (not everybody, but i said it like 10000 times) and the WNBA incident didnt affect her at all (bad exsample since rick was somewhat in the right on this one) which shows you people blindly follow their icons
http://hibachi20.blogspot.com/ RV

@NBK for once you’re right , kids don’t know the detailsof a player’s drug use, they don’t know why they did it, how often, etc. All they know is they play ball and they did some kind of drug. THATS THE FREAKIN PROBLEM.
NBK

and exactly these guys love the money, women and spotlight, and guess what they don’t care about the example to the kids unless they make a bunch of MONEY off of their shoes or something, but that isnt about being a romodel either it about money
http://hibachi20.blogspot.com/ RV

and how old are you and what do you do for a living?

Bro change your name to Two Face Harvey or leave
NBK

i understand the problem but you gotta understand that smokin weed in the NBA is an accepted fact, when it gets out they get slapped on the wrist but thats it
NBK

actually if you can read you just reitterated what i said twice for example
“my point is they arent there to be role models,”
“they are not doing what they do to become or be romodels they are doing what they do because its what they want to do”
maybe you should do your english homework
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

i need to eat some dinner. If you think i am going to accept that people that made it out from what type of life i live and now have it better, yet still act like how common folk like me act in regards to breaking rules, you gotta be fu(kin kidding me. Keeping it real might be true, but when they gett busted they need to be punished so dudes wont do this as much.
fluxland

Thanks BET… was about to quote the same comments. I’m getting something to eat.! …. BET you are the man. NBK I admire your resilience… aaaaand I’m out.
http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS
