    Never would have thought that LA nightlife would’ve gotten to a Ricky Buckets getting little to no burn. Hey, a man’s gotta unwind after riding the pine and putting up with Dunleavy’s coaching.

  • [...] mom’s favorite baller, (B)Ricky Davis will serve a 5 game suspension for drug use. Imagine my surprise when I first heard about it. [...]

    Considering where his field goal percentage is now, smoking a little weed would probably help him.

    Sticky Icky Ricky.

    I recall that back in the Beijing Olympics everybody was all over me because I said that NBA players do drugs…

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.29 at 11:00 pm
    It’s a big step from “Ricky Davis” to “NBA players.” That said, a lot of guys probably do smoke weed. So what?

  • Joey Posted: Dec.30 at 3:51 am
    your right russ, but i’m gonna play devil’s advocate for a minute.
    Smoking weed is still against the law if its for recreation. fair or not, its the law and he’s punished. meh this suspension doesnt mean anything because he’s been out for a month plus anyways

    European players don’t do drugs!!! That’s why Euro ball will always be better than the United States!

  • Jukai Posted: Dec.30 at 4:57 am
    This isn’t what I meant when I said Ricky needs to work on that J of his!

  • shon_p478 Posted: Dec.30 at 8:36 am
    RICKY DAVIS IS A GOOD PLAYER BUT NEEDS TO STOP SMOKIN AND TRY TO WORK ON GETTING BACK IN THE STARTING LINEUP! REAL TALK!

  • Twoisequaltozero Posted: Dec.30 at 9:14 am
    Didn’t Scoop call Ricky Davis the new JR Rider a few years back? Looks like his prediction might come true, but probably not in the way he envisioned.

  • pablo (from argentina) Posted: Dec.30 at 11:26 am
    Russ what you said recalled me of Maquiavelo. Geez, Ricky Davis? What about D-Miles? Rodman? J-Howard? the NBA is the only basketball league in the world where player smoke weed and everybody says: “so what”?

  • Tarzan Cooper Posted: Dec.30 at 12:00 pm
    what is weeds? mary juana is a girl from cuba, ganga is a bird from australia. i and i smoke herb. it is totally against my religion to not smoke herb.

  • Tarzan Cooper Posted: Dec.30 at 12:01 pm
    WARNING! cigarette smoking is dangerous, and hazardous to your health. does that mean anything to you? then legalize herb.

  • Wiz Posted: Dec.30 at 12:18 pm
    well le jukia d’arcel how bout u start keeping your players out of the united states then.

  • ace Posted: Dec.30 at 12:22 pm
    not the only league at all the american players do it in europe too..

  • Tarzan Cooper Posted: Dec.30 at 2:09 pm
    yes, it is only american athletes who smoke trees, no other athlete in the world smokes trees. many of you need to remove your head from your tukus and look around you.

  • ClydeSays Posted: Dec.30 at 2:10 pm
    You know, teams should get smart about players like Ricky “Smokey” Davis. Sign him and guys like Mark Blount, Marcus Banks, etc to a 5 year minimum package deal. You need to be in Lottery? THESE are the guys that can get you there. They will not play D, won’t give you effort every night and will ALWAYS look for ‘their’ shots. Plug them into your team and they can almost guarantee a Lottery pick. Ask the Celtics, TWolves and Heat. Those 3 players were key members of losing campaigns. Coincidence? Not likely.

  • Mendel Posted: Dec.30 at 2:12 pm
    Well they should have tested him after he shot at his own basket to get the rebound so he could get a tripple double when he was playing in minnesota. Smokin on hay-aayyy in LA.

  • Jukai Posted: Dec.30 at 6:36 pm
    Maybe Tarzan’s always high and that’s why he seems to know nothing about basketball?

  • Clutchski Posted: Dec.31 at 1:31 pm
    Despite the fact that many people smoke weed…and im sure NBA players who have so much money can obviously afford BOMB weed, the bottom line is that it’s supossed to be a family game. You can’t have kids seeing a NBA player “mentor” doing drugs that’s not right. It’s telling them it’s okay (which in my Canadian opinion it’s beyond okay) but still.

  • rikson Posted: Jan.2 at 8:06 am
    Get your pants back on – its just weed – *geeez*

  • Rob Posted: Jan.9 at 3:20 am
    Actually being high and smoking is perfectly legal if your 18. Being caught in the act and possesing it is illegal smart guy joey. Poor Ricky.
