Ex-NBA player Stephen Jackson says he smoked weed before games

Former NBA player Stephen Jackson said he occasionally smoked marijuana before playing in games.

Jackson's admission came on the "I Am Rapaport" podcast hosted by actor Michael Rapaport.

"I just gotta be real, you know, it's been a couple games where I smoked before games and had great games," Jackson said. "It's been some games where I smoked before the game and was on the bench after three minutes sitting on the sideline, 'please calm down, this high has to calm down,' I done shot three shots that went over the backboard, like, I'm going to be honest, like 'Ahh, I gotta calm down.
