Times are hard even for NBA stars who pull down $15 million a year. Memphis Grizzlies star Zach Randolph was arrested Wednesday and charged with intent to sell marijuana in a Los Angeles housing project.
Zach, a 16-year veteran of the NBA league, was among a crowd of people at a block party in the Nickerson Gardens project in Watts, Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Police on routine patrol observed the large gathering of mostly young people and OGs smoking marijuana, drinking liquor and disturbing the peace with loud music.
When the police pulled over to investigate the block party, several youths in the crowd began chucking bottles and rocks at the police cars.
Several police cars were damaged with smashed windows and shattered front windshields.
Police called in reinforcements to control the crowd.
Randolph, 36, was taken into custody on suspicion of possessing marijuana with intent to sell after police found numerous baggies on his person.
A 43-year-old man was also arrested and charged with weapons possession.
Randolph’s lawyer said the charges were false and misleading. “We’re looking at all options to resolve this matter,” attorney Raymond Brothers told the Associated Press on Monday.
Whelp… you can take a person out of the ghetto… you all know the rest…
What’s ghetto about him?
So, the crime is what?
I guess he said you never too paid to have a side hustle… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5a16feb7886870b58e876a7ffc6b264e7419e743bb55ec579123b82d4a427799.gif
That ish wasn’t for sale. That was for personal usage.
If and granted it’s a big “if” he out there selling weed, then he’s ghetto….
LOLLOLLOLOL!!!!!!
I’ll wait…until the REST of this STORY is available.
I thought weed was legal in Cali? No?
Meh, slow news day. He was big balling and smoking ganja with his peoples. If you are caught with a larger amount of weed you can be charged with intent to sell *kanye shrug*
Hey, he’s 36… he’s not gonna be in the NBA forever… maybe he’s just exploring potential income streams to augment his pension https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c3f88e3298106323adab79aa05621c058b0f244a628420c9b3a943b5a0a5f053.gif
$15M a year and you’re still the weed man, really
Right!!!! He’s in the hood, during a block party where they are throwing bottles at the police and he’s selling weed. If that’s not ghetto, I don’t know what is.
These types will have to explain why returning to the hood is so important when you actually get a way out. And to get out and you’re moving crumbs for weed yourself? Oh Eddie Long would have never.
I am weak at you, of all people, invoking Eddie Long’s (RIP) name… that ‘point him out’ avi was an SR classic, LOL!

LOLOLOL I shall take my bow now.
iont know if he’s ‘street’ enough… he been rich too long for that. he better go ‘head and invest in a couple of wingstops and and let his homey hold his ‘stash’ at the next cookout.

Understood
If he had 6 baggies, he can probably make the argument that it was for personal use.
If he had 60.. well, that’s another story.
You big dummy. You got 15 million and wanna sell weed. Ninja just go kill you damn self.
I’m sure the evidence is misleading like the lawyer said but hey not my business.
Just plain old stupid.
I am sure he wasnt selling and just had a large amount of herb
Zach tell them this is mistaken identity. It was Eddie from Family Matters
There’s more to this story I’m sure.
……………………………………………………………………………….
He should’ve just said he was giving it away as gifts to friends. It’s not like it’s illegal there are anything.
But, but, why? If someone wants weed they can find it anywhere! They didn’t need him! ?
Sigh. You can take a nygga out of the ghetto but…
I want to believe he was trying to buy some. Yep. That’s what I want.
I thought weed was legal in California
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMFBAOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! iM AT DESK HOLLERING. LOL LOL EDDIE!!!
The dispensary was closed at that time, he should have went to the one on Florence & 8th ave, The Bounty Hunters run Nickerson G’s so they wasn’t about to let One time come up in and shut down shit.
idiot on so many levels.
Now yall know he wasn’t selling weed..he was purchasing for himself..enough to not have to come through the hood for that strong for a while.. He need to stop doing reglah dude ish and have a “friend” “hand” him a few bags next time..

He’ll get community services and won’t be jailed. Next!
Ok!
He picked that up for his party.
He picked that up for his party.
Really…Dealing drugs, thats the story you are going to spin.
need supplementary income to finance those baby mamas allowances and child support payments
Fake charges because the cops where pissed off. They’ll get knocked down.
They’re dispensaries all over LA he could even grow his own weed out here. Dude was out there partying and got caught up
He more than likely had it for his own use. If you have a certain amount on you, it’s an automatic charge for “intent to sell”. There are no “intent to smoke it myself” charges unfortunately. It was a bad move on his part either way but articles are written to sensationalize every little thing.
So was he arrested for selling or intent to sale? B/c the headline states one thing, but the story states another.?
When the police pulled over to investigate the block party, several youths in the crowd began chucking bottles and rocks at the police cars.
Several police cars were damaged with smashed windows and shattered front windshields.
Oh! so that’s why he was arrested…I don’t believe for one minute he was selling…
nothing new he has been tied to moving weight his whole career
What a moron. Career tainted and possibly ruined over 2lbs of weed. Why have so much on your person? That’s just pure stupidity.
