Wilson Chandler, the Knicks' talented swingman, was busted while driving in Queens with a joint beneath his driver's seat and 12 small bags of marijuana in the car, police said Wednesday. A strong pot smell wafted from the 6-foot-8 forward's 2010 Mercedes-Benz after he was stopped for driving with his headlights off at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said.
Both Chandler, the Knicks' No. 1 pick in 2007, and a pal admitted they were getting high before the stop at 94th Ave. and 213rd St., said Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne, the NYPD's spokesman. Chandler's grandmother, who raised him in Michigan, was infuriated by the hoopster's behavior. "I don't know about pot in his car. I ain't heard nothing from him yet," Olivia Chandler, 76, told the Daily News. "I didn't raise him to smoke pot." Chandler and buddy Lamonte Yarbrough, 22, of Benton Harbor, Mich., are due in court July 1. The total amount of marijuana involved was under 2 ounces, prosecutors said.
So I cant say that I'm shocked at all by this story cause it's pretty well documented what a thug Wilson is. Just last year I was sitting behind Chandler at the Depaul/St. Johns game out in Queens and saw the shadiest dude in the world roll up and slip a vile of something into his hand and then roll out. I felt like I should've called ESPN or something as soon as it happened but kinda just forgot about it a day later. But it looks like Benton Harbor's prodigal son couldn't stay outta trouble for long. Naw, turns out Wilson isn't just buying his shit out in Queens but instead dudes slinging nickel and dime bags too. How else do you get busted with 12 different baggies? Doesn't make sense. Cause if you're as rich as Wilson Chandler you just buy bricks of that shit and call it a day, right? There's always the possibility that Wilson drove out to Queens and it was like a two for one deal or something. Too good of a deal to pass up, I'll take 12.
This story is only making it on JBS.com because my buddy Andy, also from Benton Harbor, spotted big Will the night he was drafted with his boys, riding their bikes (pedal, not motorcycle) down the streets of Benton Harbor and Will had a bucket of KFC under his arm. Now that's how you celebrate.
"Just became a millionaire bitches! Who wants some KFC?".
PS - We all know that if you get busted with weed you shove it up your ass like all other former high school basketball stars from Michigan.
Now I hate to be the whistleblower here but that is a clear bigotry written above. To say that blacks love fried chicken and cheap drugs is just wrong and disrespectful. What is factual though is Benton Harbor is indeed a shithole and disgrace to the state of Michigan. Let me know when you see an NBA player buy a stake in a watermelon farm or menthol tobacco field….Now that would be a story worthy of JBS beat writers to cover.
