I think that the high school star needs to sharpen up his game a bit, and cutting down on the joints should only be part of it:)

Great story.

Maybe his Honor clerked for Wizzer White?

WASHINGTON –– The Supreme Court building is home to two courts. There's the fancy place with red velvet curtains and robe-wearing justices and the one with bland concrete walls and backboards, where the attire is sweats and sneakers.
From this AP story.

Excellent story. Thanks for posting. They should make a commercial. This would really reach kids.

Geez, after reading the entire story, its no wonder the Judge won. Playing one on one against someone twice your age, who had played college basketball is WAY different than playing on a high school basketball team.

The punk was just cocky, and probably had no idea the judge had played college ball.

Nice coincidence that this judge could play basketball. I'm afraid that if I were the judge I'd just have to challenge the kid to an intense scrabble game or something :)

Sounds like a made-for-TV movie script to me.

Excellent story and one that proves why libertarians suck in sports.

But, the judge did prove that marijuana use can stand in the way of your basketball skills. Just ask anybody in the NBA.

"I like this Judge."

Thats what he was hoping for. The Judge is doing a full court press on his opponents in the next election. A little creative sentencing and presto, free publicity.

Heck, my spelling is so bad that I couldn't even manage the scrabble game. :-)

"...the judge slam-dunked the former high school star 10-3."

Love it...MUD

I bet he'd kick the judges ass in a Dorito eating contest.

At least they're treating a pot charge (gasp! The Wacky Tabacky!) like the joke that it is.
