    You do a great job of not injecting yourself into the conversation.

    Other "writers" who shall not be named are "peeking through the blinds" to claim they have info or always injecting their big bald head into the conversation. Thanks for being you.

    Thanks for your time (I know I said that already), and I hope your book does well for you. I hope you have an excellent retirement here in the next couple years.

    I didn't see this question until now, but I'd like to answer it. Yes, marijuana laws (and morays) are different today, but it was illegal in those years. I think the most famous of those was the one where Wallace and Stoudamire were stopped driving back from Seattle; that would still be illegal.
    The player problems in those years went far beyond smoking pot. So I don't think the team would have been viewed as any less an anomaly now as then -- perhaps even more. We'll never see an NBA team with the kind of issues as those again.
    I wrote the book because I was contacted by an editor at Skyhorse who felt the story was a worthy subject, and I was the person to write it. So I did.
