NEW YORK (AP) — Marijuana smoking and heavy drinking are rampant in the NBA, involving 60 percent to 70 percent of the play ers, The New York Times reported Sunday. The estimate is based on state ments made to the newspaper by players, former players, agents and basketball executives in more than two dozen interviews. One agent said the figure may actually be higher. “No one can really know, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s 70 per cent,” Dallas guard Robert Pack said. “You don’t follow guys home, but just from what you hear 1 think it’s closer to 70 percent,” Orlando guard Derek Harper said. Marijuana is not covered by the league’s substance abuse policy, which has been in effect without major modifications since 1984. Commissioner David Stern has said recendy he would like to have a drug policy that includes marijuana. “That substance can impair peo ple and cause them to be guilty of atxsif 3% f "faJL i»» * St/ criminal conduct.
