Hooped Up

My questions in all of this is, A) how do you hide a 6′9″ guy in a hotel room with 4 other people in it already?  Is Michael Beasley, Solid Snake?  And B) who doesn’t know that smoke alarms detect smoke? Now next year, not only does the NBA have to invite the D.A.R.E people to this rookie gathering but,  Smokey the Bear too. 

Some orientation this turned out to be. 

Hopefully next time rivals Kansas State University and Kansas University decide to smoke a “peace pipe”, they pick a better / smarter spot.

“The NBA announced a $50,000 fine for Heat forward Michael Beasley, the second overall pick in the draft.

He was involved in the same marijuana-related episode that resulted in $20,000 fines for Heat guard Mario Chalmers and Memphis Grizzlies forward Darrell Arthur.

Chalmers and Arthur, college teammates at Kansas, also were sent home from the four-day event earlier this month at a hotel in Rye, N.Y. The league said Beasley was fined for his involvement and “for his initial failure to cooperate with a league investigation of the matter.”

According to NBA sources, Beasley was in a hotel room with Chalmers, Arthur and two women when the incident took place, but he might have been hiding.

The incident occurred when hotel security investigated a smoke alarm going off. When they used a pass key to enter the room, they smelled marijuana. No drugs were found, and Chalmers and Arthur denied using any.

Beasley intially was cleared by the NBA, but apparently came forward later.”
