what do you guys think? as a former college student who used to smoke the sticky on occasion freshman year, that DOES appear to be pot smoke. I mean, i don't smoke ciggeretts, but some of my friends do, and even hand rolled ones don't smoke that thick.

But....he can't be this stupid can he? The NBA will have this in 3 hours, If thats a spliff, what, if anything do you think they'll do to him?

Not sure how exactly it can proved it's pot smoke through a video.

no but you can order a hair  test as the commishner and see if he has anytime in the last year. It just seems so dumb to tape yourself smoking "something" off camera with your eyes half shut and holding it in for that long.

again, i dont smoke anymore, and i don't claim to be an expert, but ive never seen any of my firends who smoke cigs take a drag and hold it in for 10 seconds. I have seen kids who smoke pot do that though.

I just thought it was funny, i could honestly care less. what the man does on his own time is none of my concern. I just think its odd he taped it and put it on the web. Why even open that door for the image obsessed NBA?

on a side note, his vlog is hillaris rambling non-sense.

Yeh, it's a pretty dumb thing and even if it's not weed he's smoking it's clearly the image he's trying to portray.

Switching to mod mode here

Let's keep this from getting into personal testimonials about weed smoking methodology etc...

"Since when has it not been cool
to be hood?" kind of says it all.

video is in fanshots. Its way better at the end...the best part isnt even the smoke.

Ron Artest is that dumb, but he's not necessarily smoking weed here. Could be a cigarette, or it could indeed be a blunt. Even so, smoking can't be good for his fitness, can it?

Do elaborate.

The best part is 6 minutes until the end. You sir are welcome.

This guy is the biggest moron in the NBA. He sounds like an idiot throughout the whole video.

What a shame. They took down the video. Now y'all will never know how Ron Artest feels about tight jeans.

Many years from now when old man Redz is lying in his bed counting down his final breaths he will look back with regret that he never knew Ron Artest's true feelings about tight jeans.

They have the part about the jeans on the op's video.

Oh...Then I guess I will be able to die peacefully

or torture myself by watching it again and actually paying attention to what he was saying (I was looking for the smoky part before)

[LarBrd33]

eh?  Maybe they took down the part where he's smoking, but I just watched that entire video and didn't see him smoking anything at all.   Did anyone actually see it or are they just going by the screenshot?  Dunno if I buy it.

Btw that video is hilarious.  He's obviously not serious.  He complains about not being able to wear baggy jeans into the club and says something like, "last time my album sold 343 copies in the first week and they said it was a failure.  This time I'm going to sell 344!  What you gonna say bout that?!"

Pretty funny guy, actually.  I do think he's crazy, but I also think a lot of his rep is unwarranted. 

So where's the supposed smoke?

It took me about 3 times through to catch it.  The alleged "weed smoke" is in the very first second of the video, you just see him exhaling smoke.  By second 2 of the video it's already done with and over and you just get Ron waxing poetic on tight jeans.
