Marijuana use in the NBA
JR Smith revealed last season that players used to smoke marijuana during the Bubble in Orlando after the COVID-19 outbreak.
"We was blowing it down in there," JR Smith noted.
"You know what's funny, though, is that that was the only way you could really function in that joint.
"It was cool, I'm glad it happened because it finally broke that barrier and that stigma that you couldn't play and all of this. It was a drug, it was this and that.
"But when you go to the bubble basketball, some of them dudes... granted, it was like practice games and some of 'em really can't play that well in front of 30,000... but at the same time you saw some of the best level of basketball.
"When you can be at peace with your mind, your body, and your soul, and you can go out there and just hoop, that's all you want."
Calls for the NBA to lift the marijuana ban
Since the Bubble, several players have called for the NBA to lift their ban on marijuana use.
"If you love it, you love it," Durant told All The Smoke.
"If you don't, you're not even going to try it.
"Marijuana is just marijuana, it's not harmful to anybody.
"It just helps and makes things better."
