NBA rookies caught having too good a time



Former Jayhawks Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were reportedly thrown out of the NBA’s rookie transition program on Wednesday after being caught with pot in their hotel room. (And according to FoxSports.com there were also some ladies in the room.) This would so not fly a real halfway house or at least one that is not sponsored by Ricky Williams.

The event being held in Rye Brook, NY, is a four day seminar where coaches, former players and refs discuss the difficult transition from playing in college to playing in the pros. I’m also sure there are some sort of handouts which include a number for a good lawyer, bail bondsman and PR agent which could have come in handy for Cheech and Chong.

As a part of their punishment, both players will begin the season on the suspended list, were fined $20,000 and will be forced to attend the four day lecture series next year.

Watch out Mario and Darrell, because the popo are on your tail!
