Durant got candid when he talked about his meeting with Adam Silver and how he smoked weed before his meeting with Silver to discuss uplifting it off the ban substance list.
“He smelled it when I walked in. So I didn’t really have to say much.”
Durant is a 2-time NBA champion, 2-time Finals MVP, 1-time MVP, and 10-time All-NBA player. It’s safe to say that Marijuana hasn’t affected his game in any kind of way. Durant has wanted the NBA to make this move for the last three years and it’s finally happened.
Durant doesn’t want to be called a pioneer, but he’s a person that will definitely advocate for the plant substance.
“I just enjoy the plant”, Durant Says. “It’s as Simple as That”
