LOS ANGELES — When former NBA commissioner David Stern speaks, people listen.
And when Stern told Uninterrupted, a LeBron James-backed multimedia platform that marijuana should be removed from the league’s banned substance list, it drew notice.
Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy stopped short of agreeing with Stern.
But with attitudes changing in regards to marijuana, Van Gundy admitted the NBA faces a complex issue with tough answers.
“I think the NBA is going to be in a tough spot down the road — not just medical — but as more states legalize marijuana even for recreational use,” Van Gundy said after Friday’s practice at the Galen Center on the USC campus.
