Corie Blount Gets Slammed On

Last December cops intercepted 11 lbs. of weed sent in the mail to Lakers legend Corie Blount. They waited at the post office for the 6'10" former superstar to pick up his prize and quickly arrested him. It is unclear if the dank contraband was zip-loc'd, wrapped in spools of Fabreeze sheets, stuffed into hair conditioner bottles, and cushioned by dirty gym wear. After taking Blount into custody, police searched the 11-year NBA vet's Cincinnati home and found 18 more lbs. of headbangin' boogie shit. They also found $30k in cash, and 3 firearms. Blount argued in court that the weed was for his own personal use, but Judge Craig Hedric didn't buy it. "Cheech and Chong would have had a hard time smoking that much," he said during Blount's hearing today. He slammed the legend with a one year sentence behind bars.

Blount has career averages of 3.6 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and .41 BPG in 644 games in the NBA. He helped the Lakers lose early in the playoffs every year during the celebrated Del Harris era, and in '99 he was waived after the team acquired J.R. Reid and Glen Rice. The next year the Lakers won the title.
