LeBron Admits Smoking Weed in High School

July 24th, 2009

LeBron James admits that he smoked marijuana as a 17-year-old in high school. In “Shooting Stars,” a book written by James and co-author Buzz Bissinger, which chronicles James’ rise to the NBA stardom, acknowledges that all the focus on him as a young phenom blew his head up way beyond proportion. “We had become big-headed jerks, me in particular,” James said, “and we are to blame for that, but so are adults who treated us that way and then sat back and smugly watched the self-destruction.” The book, scheduled for release in September, tells of the spotlight under which the famous teen operated during his final two years at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. It was the period following his appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated. James says that he and close friends Dru Joyce, Sian Cotton, Romeo Travis and Willie McGee – nicknamed the Fab Five – took full advantage of their celebrity. “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.”
