Add LeBron James to the list of successful athletes who have smoked marijuana. Shit, add him to the list of successful PEOPLE who smoked marijuana. This is more proof that weed never hurt anyone.

LeBron James struggled with sudden fame after appearing on Sports Illustrated’s cover as a 17-year-old and admits he smoked marijuana during his junior year in high school.

Those are two of the revelations in a book chronicling James’ rise from Akron, Ohio, hoops prodigy to NBA superstar.

…

“I was arrogant, dubbing myself “The Chosen One,” James said. “In hindsight, I should have kept quiet, but I also was what I was, a teenager where every reporter in the world seemed to be rushing toward me at once.”

James also revealed he and his teammates smoked marijuana one night after getting access to a hotel room in Akron.

He only admits to using it once. Who knows if he actually continued or if that was an isolated incident but clearly it didn’t stop him from becoming one of the best ever at his profession. Just like all the guys on this list.
