Earlier in the week, I noted that Chuck called the Wizards the “dumbest team in the history of Western civilization.” He might have to take that back because Josh Howard might have single handedly put the Mavs over the top with his comments about weed. Not because he actually smokes (An NBA player smokes weed when not playing? No way. You have to be joking. I thought they spent their offseasons visiting the Land of Gumdrops and Chocolate Kisses. In case you can’t tell, I’m being sarcastic.), but when he did this. You’re down 2-0 in the first round and this is the day you decide to make this admission? You’re pretty much asking for the other teams fans to go nuts on you. Alright, I’ll get off my soap box and get to the two good things that came out of this.
First is that he did this on the Michael Irvin Show on Dallas radio. If you asked me which radio show an NBA player would admit to smoking weed on, Michael Irvin’s would be my first, second, third and possibly fourth picks. I’m glad ESPN was able to find a way to keep Michael Irvin employed because you never know when you’ll need someone caught with coke and strippers to ask drug related questions.
Second was that it allowed Jalen Rose to show off his sheer brilliance. Here’s what his thoughts were on the situation. “To quote the philosopher David Chappelle, this is an example of when keeping it real goes wrong.” There is nothing I can say that will come close to that, so I’ll end this.
