he doesnt need to if he gets arrested with it

I know it was in his car but you got to explain to be how he will be suspended for it. Suspension is testing positive. Not arrests of possession because it doesn't represent a conviction. That why Sheed wasn't. That's why the Big Chief wasn't.

DWB = Driving while black
DNC = Driving nice car

Both. He's between 103rd and 102nd. I know the block. I wouldn't be surprise if they didn't smoke one with him before they brought him in.

DWBINC = Driving while black in nice car.

I call 3-5 game suspension.

I bet you no games. He got a citation. Not even arrest. Means no weight on possession.

By the way I could less if he was caught doing lines of coke. As long as he isnt doing it during the season.

"chronic"ally injured?

But I know some are itching to go overboard and use this incident as some sort of statement on his character. You know, the high horse bastards who have never made a mistake in their life. Duke is a freshly turned 23 and it was weed. Fall back.

Jeez, I know in my heart you want someone to go overboard but I just can't help you here!
Its no big deal. Wilson's been great and improved every year.

Knicks forward Wilson Chandler was busted in Queens last night with a joint and five bags of pot, police sources Wednesday.

The tattooed-covered rising star was pulled over in his 2010 Mercedes-Benz was on 94th Ave. and 213th St. at 11:30 p.m. for driving with his headlights off.

"When they approached the vehicle, they smelled...and observed smoke," a source said of the arresting officers.

They found the pot in the trunk, sources said.

Chandler, who had a 22-year-old passenger, was arrested and charged with criminal possession of marijuana. He was given a desk appearance ticket.

Word of Chandler's arrest stunned and angered his grandmother, 76-year-old Olivia Chandler of Benton Harbor, Mich.

"I don't know about pot in his car, I ain't heard nothing from him yet," she told The Daily News. "I didn't raise him to smoke pot."

Asked about Chandler's recent state of mind, the grandma said "he just had surgery."

The 6-foot-8-inch forward missed the final month of play after suffering a groin strain and was scheduled to undergo sports hernia surgery.

Chandler's uncle said he too was shocked by the arrest.

"Ah goodness, I didn't think he messed with that stuff," said Al Chandler, 50, of Temple Hills, Md. "He's a good guy. Obviously he must have been in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Chandler, who was drafted by the Knicks in 2007, played in 65 games last season and averaged 15 points.

My take: I live in a glass house so I ain't throwing no stones. I laughed when I read he was driving with his headlights off: sounds like some stoner ish right there!

I'm also surprised you don't get any kind of DWI charge in that kind of situation, or do you? (I don't really drive.)

You gotta love the quote from his grandma. I bet Wilson ain't "the Mayor" in her house. Definitely a big mistake and I bet this puts the Fear of God... or the Fear of Grams in the youngblood.

Could be a sobering wake-up call for Ill Will and be a net positive for the team. He might come into the next season with the right kind of fire, pun certainly intended.

Remember they were mad at nate for a simple traffic violation. This is possession.
