Hey kids, do drugs!

I think I have a new favorite NBA player. His name is Scot Pollard.

Those of you who know him probably also know that he's more famous for his funny hair than for his basketball skills. He's pretty much useless as a player. Even at the peak of his career with the Sacramento Kings a few years ago, his only role was to foul Shaquille O'Neal six times whenever they go up against the LA Lakers. At least that's how I remember it.

Now that he's with the Cleveland Cavaliers, all he does is sit at the end of the bench in a suit and collect a fat paycheck every week for being tall. Like I said, he's useless.

So why did he suddenly become my favorite player? Because he managed to do something way cooler than a LeBron James dunk or an Iverson crossover. During a timeout in a game last week, Scot Pollard, who wasn't even playing, turned to the camera and said, "Hey kids, do drugs."

Hahaha! Nice advice for the kids! Unfortunately, his NBA bosses have no sense of humor (yeah, like they didn't smoke a joint or two themselves back in the 60s and 70s). Our Dunking Junkie was soon forced to apologize. Aw, that sucks. Why did he have to apologize? What's wrong with drugs? Drugs can be good for you!

Then again, Scot Pollard might have become a better player if he didn't do so much drugs... or if he did the right kind of drugs. Marijuana isn't exactly performance enhancing, you know.
