Lebron James’ new book, Shooting Stars, written by himself and co-author, Buzz Bissinger, reveals to the public that Lebron did smoke marijuana. He claims it was done in response to the overwhelming media coverage he was getting in high school, and in part, due to the inflated egos of himself and his teammates. I guess this is just another name of a successful and talented athlete that could be added to the list of people who smoke(d) weed and aren’t a living Above the Influence commercial.

Researchers found that 42% of people surveyed in the U.S. had tried marijuana at least once. Athletes I imagine is even higher than normal. So I only applaud Lebron for admitting to it and being honest.
