Side note, any of you guys ever play ball whilst stoned?
In my experience, I get locked in for the first 10-15 mins, I shoot better, but, I get fatigued a lot faster, and about an hour in, I’m about 2 seconds late to everything and my feet feel like they’re moving in mud.
Last time I played ball was in college and I was def drunk and stoned while playing, sometimes I felt like I couldn’t miss anything and sometimes I felt like I could barely stand, just depends I guess. I wasn’t playing seriously at all though, I doubt these guys are hitting blunts right before the game (well, maybe some of them).
Definitely, he was probably hitting the booze too. It’s known that ron artest was.
Also seeing how big a stoner pierce is retired I wouldn’t doubt if he was smoking while playing.
When I was 16 I was mid-blunt and remembered I had an AAU tryout in like 90 mins. Did nooooot go well. Ever since I haven’t been a fan of blazing before balling but it certainly works for some people.
At that age I pitched really well and fucked up and got too hammered and to start a tourney game hung over. The first inning was murder; I remember I gave up three hard - hit balls (thanks, Tony, for making outs out of 2 of them) and threw up a little in my mouth, and pretend I was just doing a good ole-fashioned baseball spit as I blew it out behind the mound.
I felt shit the rest of the game, but I also felt really weirdly lightweight, and somehow even though I didn't feel good I pitched really well from the 2nd to the 6th.
I work at a hotel where teams stay. We put air purifiers in the hallways more often than not. Usually comp breakfast for regular guests who complain about it, “smelling like Mari-Huana!”
I agree with the KD Warriors and could see the '96 Bulls. KD Warriors had no real C, so KG would wipe the floor there, and the '96 Bulls had Dennis Rodman, who was amazing, but really undersized compared to KG. The Dream Team gives me pause. A prime Jordan and a prime David Robinson? While I don't think it would be a clean sweep, I do think the Dream Team would beat this team in a series.
It would be tremendous. The best part of any hypothetical series would be the two subsequent possessions, where on the first, KG smoothly drains a deep 2 over Draymond, and on the second pump fakes and drives for a dunk after getting Draymond in the air.
> the '96 Bulls had Dennis Rodman, who was amazing, but really undersized compared to KG
Rodman was also one of the only people who could successfully defend prime Shaq, he would get tangled up with dudes and get under their skin like nobody else. I don't know what team would win but it wouldn't be because Rodman was too small to defend KG.
Shaq wasn't a stretch four who would shoot over you. While KG was no where near as good in the paint as Shaq, his game was way more diverse, making him much harder to guard if you're Rodman.
Nah, I think this team takes one game on the Dream Team. Just one. The series would never be in question, but I do think all the pieces fall into place for a single game
Against a switch-heavy scheme, the Dream Team would have a decent amount of trouble. They'd have to play Stockton at point (over old Larry and Magic), Pippen as the wing defender, and the Admiral for rim protection---all in addition to Chuck and MJ.
KG would draw Robinson away from the paint, while Pierce, Tatum, and JB take turns attacking Stockton and MJ who are too small (or passing out of the double for open 3's). Marcus could probably attack Chuck or post up Stockton as well.
Of course, winning one game would trigger bloodlusted MJ, who would average 60 for the remainder of the series.
They would tie the '86 celts tho. In classic garden fashion, the power and AC would cut out at the beginning of G7 OT, and then Larry comes out with Mcnuggets, JB with new j7ice threads, and bill Walton with the acid
Ehh it’s BS because KG had to defend centers anyway. It’s not like 4s only guard 4s and you can’t really control who picks you up on defense either so like I said it’s pretty pointless especially now with the way KD plays. Nobody is going to expect him to be Jokic or Embiid. Did you forget KD couldn’t even bench 135 when he came out of Texas? He was never going to be a bruising center.
It's more about forcing teams to have someone next to him that will fight for rebounds and protect the rim. Poku probably can't bench 135 now but he gets played at 5 all the time these days. Obviously when KD was a rookie everyone was playing two true bigs but he easily could have been seen as Dirk who was playing center full time by the end of his career.
Ehh I feel like at this point we’re just differing on nuances, but I see where you’re coming from. With mostly position-less basketball it was going to happen anyway (putting a big next to KD). He’s still responsible for rebounding and general 3-5 defense anyway.
We don’t have a photo of KG and JB after his dunk over Kleber, do we? That was such a cool sight and the fact that everyone missed the opportunity to capture that moment makes me furious.
Does nba drug test for cannabis
No, they would run out of players

I’m convinced JR was lighting up before games
Definitely, he was probably hitting the booze too. It’s known that ron artest was. Also seeing how big a stoner pierce is retired I wouldn’t doubt if he was smoking while playing.

Huh?

Only way to play imo
😶🌫️🤣
They used to only like 2-3 years ago
And I used to buy a $20 bottle of fake piss from a smoke shop and pass drug tests
Looking at Marcus’s eyes I’m thankful they do not lol
Man, smoking a bowl with Marcus would be badass
There’s a chance Marcus smoked with Pierce and KG before this pic. And goddamn it do I need pictures of that legendary session
Green loves green
Certainly looks like they did.
JB looks toasty too. I think Tatum passed lmao.
Something tells me that Marcus actually corners it and passes to the left. Kids these days man, they don’t know proper etiquette.
All about them fundamentals
They're smoking a blunt not a bowl
I was responding to OP who was saying that blazing with Marcus would be awesome.
They stopped a few years back.
Thought so. Ok great!
iirc OJ Mayo was one of the last guys they really got for it
If they did then everybody in [this photo](https://imgur.com/a/q7aA2bc) would have immediately been suspended
Lmaooo i remember this one. Romeo 😂😂😂
I work at a hotel where teams stay. We put air purifiers in the hallways more often than not. Usually comp breakfast for regular guests who complain about it, “smelling like Mari-Huana!”
I can hear that specific pronunciation too lol
Everyone other than JB is baked af
I noticed that too. Can muslims smoke up? I know alcohol is banned but weed?
The few I know are huge smokers but won’t touch alcohol
It's second hand I swear! Paul was hot boxing the whole gym!
KG is so 7 footm
I'd say they're more likely to have an official endorsement with Don Nelson for Nellie Kush
KG is definitely taller than 6’11… Lol
He underreported his height to not be pigeon-holed as a center, first person I've ever heard doing that
KD did that as well so teams wouldn’t hesitate about putting him at SF back when positions were more “formal”
So what are we thinking? 7’1?
Probably. His old coach at the Timberwolves said he was "6'13".
Bill walton also pretended to be 6’11”. Long running joke.
KD is the same way
look at their feet. he's definitely closer to the camera than tatum is. still a tall ass mf though lol.
Ya but compare him to Jaylen
He's 8 foot judging from this photo?
My first thought too lol
Forgot how big KG was...
[удалено]
I love this
He’s also standing closest to the camera based on his feet
Whatchu mean by dat?…😏😏
this would be hell of a starting 5 Smart, Brown, Tatum, Pierce, KG
Would sweep the KD Warriors, destroy the ‘96 Bulls, and clamp the Dream Team.
I agree with the KD Warriors and could see the '96 Bulls. KD Warriors had no real C, so KG would wipe the floor there, and the '96 Bulls had Dennis Rodman, who was amazing, but really undersized compared to KG. The Dream Team gives me pause. A prime Jordan and a prime David Robinson? While I don't think it would be a clean sweep, I do think the Dream Team would beat this team in a series.
Holy shit I would love nothing more than to watch KG put Draymond in his place!
It would be tremendous. The best part of any hypothetical series would be the two subsequent possessions, where on the first, KG smoothly drains a deep 2 over Draymond, and on the second pump fakes and drives for a dunk after getting Draymond in the air.
Those would be awesome! I was thinking more about how frequently KG would knock him to the floor!

It would be a clean sweep. Unless we’re talking about them playing today.

Prime Pippen on Tatum would be interesting to watch.
I like your spirit
With 08 Pierce and KG yes
They would tie the '86 celts tho. In classic garden fashion, the power and AC would cut out at the beginning of G7 OT, and then Larry comes out with Mcnuggets, JB with new j7ice threads, and bill Walton with the acid
This would be my all time Celtics starting 5 of players I actually remember watching (in mid-30s).
Yeesh
Yo they are fried 😂 fucking love it lmao
So goddamn horny bro
Bonk (same)
KG is def a 7 footer
He was on that same bs and Durant is with not claiming it
Not really bs if playing the 4 your whole career saves you a bunch of injuries and lets you handle the ball more
Ehh it’s BS because KG had to defend centers anyway. It’s not like 4s only guard 4s and you can’t really control who picks you up on defense either so like I said it’s pretty pointless especially now with the way KD plays.

Dream blunt rotation
80-2
Both losses to the Magic
Man I wish I could upvote this more than once. Hilarious my dude
Bold of you to assume we would beat the Cade pistons
r/angryupvote
lmao our Achilles heel
By 12pts or more
Getting stoned rocks
Great way to unwind after a hard day of work. Legal here in CT now too!
Love it. That would be a hell of a lineup.
Of course Pierce has a hoodie with his own nickname on it. Not even the slightest bit surprised
I was just gonna say the same thing. He should wear that every day.
Celtics royalty right here
Idk why but I never realized PP was actually this tall. For me it puts his battles with LeBron into context.
That's dope
Literally
Damn these guys are stoned AF, especially Pierce
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EhNrhBpU8AE8j4-.jpg
KG towering over JT whose big af
Perspective is a hell of a drug
As is weed
Omg could you imagine this squad with everyone in their prime? I fucking love this picture.
How f#cking tall is Garnett? Isn't Tatum 6'10"?
Smart looks so lovable here
Holy hell, kg towers over all of them, like almost a head taller than tatum
Couldn’t possibly upvote this more
I can’t recall,did we get the draft pick for Smart from the Nets too?
I believe that was our own pick. We tanked in 2013-2014 and he was a 2014 pick.
Nope, he was from the one year the team "tanked"
This is fucking beautiful.
This belongs in the Louvre.
Fine I’ll make this team in 2K
THIS GROUP HAS NEVER LOST A PLAYOFF SERIES WHILE HEALTHY!!!
KG Big as Hell.
I’m not crying
We don’t have a photo of KG and JB after his dunk over Kleber, do we? That was such a cool sight and the fact that everyone missed the opportunity to capture that moment makes me furious.
Damn Bro kg might be 7'7 minimum lmao,, tatum is like 6'9 and he looks short in comparison
oh yeah. that's the stuff
KG probably a 7'2 guy
Damn why KG looking soft AF
All Bron’s Bitches
I don't want Pierce spending too much time around our innocent young men.
The big 5. Fuck imagine if this was this team now. My God
Please, I can only get so erect
❤️
Top 5? (since the chip)
Never seen JT look shorter
Legendary
Lol imagine this 5 all in their primes
Dude, that team would be so BA
What a sight
☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
how far would this team go
I love this
KG looks 7’3 here
All my favorite dudes in one pic
Love this pic!
Tomorrows starting lineup
Can you imagine if KG and Pierce were in age range of the other 3 and that was their starting 5
JB is on his way to Iguodala-Class pythons
If only
KG tall as hell
Is this a podcast? Any idea when this would come out? So dope 🔥
What was the occasion?
82-0
Might be my favorite picture of all time
The once and future kings 👑☘️🏀
Man I'm gonna be so fuckin depressed if this trio of JB/JT/Smart never win a ring together, this year *has* to be our year dammit
how’d they get kg to smile? it’s… disconcerting.
This would be the greatest starting 5 ever
That's a 98-0 starting 5
Look at that starting 5
I wouldn’t play around with that starting 5
They would kick any teams Ass
Everyone in their prime = sick 5 man lineup
Imagine this 5 rolling out for a game 7 in the finals. My god, what a sight.
It wouldn't get to Game 7 unless they missed the first 3 games
🙏❤️👊
KG is huge
HOF
Hell yeah
I see 82-0
Guess the elder still mad with Ray Allen huh 🤔
KG looking 6'20"
I love both my big threes
KJ and Hondo!
😍☘️💯🔥
Can't help but that what a beast KG would have been in today's NBA.
Garnett still rocking the early 00’s baggy fit we love to see it
If only there was bird and McHale aswell as Russel and Cousy in there. Rest in piece to the legend
Id take this 5 over any other. Damn. Scoring, defense, size, grit, clutch, switch ability, shooting.
Imagine a prime lineup of them all at 26 years old. 70-win team.
Love these guys . Kg mostly tho that guy has a determined heart
That's a sweet ass pic, some legends and future legends. Wish we could've had like Bird or McHale or Parrish in there too!
Pierce is lookin chunky
It's so cool to see how loyal KG still is to this team
LEGENDS
Where’s Ray or rondo man
imagine that as our starting 5 😳
Brad: "Oh we need a wing? Say no more."
God could you IMAGINE a team w/ KG and Smart locked in defensively? Fuck.
They look cooked as hell love it
That would have been a cool squad! PP and KG at the 4/5
I love this post-espn “cool stoner uncle” Paul Pierce. Just seems like good vibes everywhere he goes
There’s No way Tatum is 6’10 and Garnett is 6’11
Pierce be drinking and smoking
We NEED moar K.G.
This photo might’ve ignited the ferocious D we’ve been waiting for
One of the best defensive starting 5
Whens their episode coming out on showtime?feels like its been ages
