The dude was a decent player and by now I think he would have been a guy in somebodies rotation if not New Orleans.

10 day contract? The Knicks don't have a roster spot. Great.

He violated the NBA drug policy twice.

I'll be surprised if we ever see him in the league again.

Don't the Lakers need a big man.

he can re apply- the league doesn't have to take hime back.

would love to gave him, but would he make us a 14 win team? we have bigger problems. unless, he could get zach and curry to light up and get thrown out of the league. hmmm.

When you do drugs of course you will look lost on the floor.

The one player use to drink at the half times of games.

We don't know what type of condition Chris is in. He was out of the league for a long time. Who knows what his game is like.

Also what drug was he on?

David Harrison appeared on local radio today with Eddie White and Bob Kravitz. As I've mentioned before, David Harrison is a thoughtful dude who runs his daily life by the Socratic method. So many questions, so little time. In this interview, David attempts to tackle some deep issues surrounding drug decriminalization and his responsibilities as an adult making decisions. His train of thought was a bit off the track at times, but quite compelling at the same time. He's publicly admitted in the past that he regularly sees a therapist, so keep in mind that the complete David Harrison package is complex to say the least.

In a nutshell, he's sorry he broke the NBA rules and put his team in a bind. He doesn't agree with the NBA's drug rule or any drug testing for that matter. He realizes he may have ruined his career (DH is a free agent at the end of the year) and also realizes what he needs to do to play in the league.

When asked if he was concerned about his future, David went into prime form.

I made a mistake and if that mistake costs me my career, then that's where we need to look. Look at what I did and look at what I lost. You know what I'm saying. Does marijuana, is it that bad? That's the question I really want people to ask themselves sometimes.

Following rules blindly, doesn't mean you're right just by following those rules. There needs to be a just rule. I mean, a long time ago George Washington sat around, didn't want to pay taxes to the crown. There's other things going on, but the rudimentary part of our American revolution was we didn't want to pay taxes. And we broke that rule and we have America today. You know, if we would've lost that war, George Washington would be Benedict Arnold.

You know, it's whoever wins, you get the praise. Nicotine won, the tobacco industry won. That's the thing, they wouldn't want marijuana to be legal. It causes less cancer and actually, I've read studies where in cities with very bad air polution like in Indiana, it helps protect you from lung cancer.

I'm not sure, but I think DH just blamed his suspension on Big Tobacco. This is just a snippet and there's plenty more where this came from, so listen to the whole interview (linked below). DH has no problem spittin' the truth as he sees it, so while we won't see him in any Nike commercials, at least his words are entertaining.

I appreciate a man on a righteous crusade, although at this time in Pacer history, taking up the cause for legal bud is the last thing the franchise needs. Hopefully, David Harrison can take care of his business and find work in the NBA. He has talent and maybe if his head remained clear he could consistently tap into it. I can't imagine this episode costing him his playing career. It will certainly cost him money, but if he really wants it, he will find a team willing to give him a chance. Oh, by the way, Harrison put up a DNP-CD in Milwaukee Thursday night.
