Dude, you clearly smoke. You don't have to be embarrassed or lie about it to try and make your point.

I'm not embarrased, I've said it before on a different thread and at that time, I did.

I think he handled the situation absolutely perfectly. He didn't make any excuses, denied the drug use, admitted he made a really dumb mistake, and swore he would never put himself in that situation again.

He's offically off my knucklehead list.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Darrell Arthur apologized for his role in an incident at the NBA's rookie transition program earlier this week, but denied ever using mar1juana, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported.

Wednesday, Arthur and fellow ex-Kansas teammate Mario Chalmers were kicked out of the program for violating its rules. They were dismissed after women -- a violation of the program's no-visitors rule -- and a strong smell of mar1juana were found in their hotel room at the program.

Arthur returned to Memphis and spoke with Grizzlies coach Marc Iavaroni and general manager Chris Wallace, apologizing for the situation, according to the report.

"I told them it won't happen again," Arthur said Thursday, the newspaper reported. "I want people to know I'm a good kid. ... This is the first really bad thing that's happened to me. But I'm going to prove to people that I'm worthy to be on this team, I have good character and I'll be good in the community."

Sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard that Chalmers and Arthur were caught in Arthur's room at the Doral Arrowwood resort in Rye Brook, N.Y., when a smoke alarm went off Wednesday at about 2 a.m. Hotel management went to the room, but the players refused to allow them in.

Management then left to get security, which used its own key to enter the room minutes later. Once inside, security found Chalmers, Arthur and at least two women, sources told Broussard. There was a strong stench of mar1juana in the room, and one person was in the bathroom with the door locked, repeatedly flushing the toilet, sources said.

The police were called to the room, which they searched, but neither mar1juana nor drug paraphernalia was found. Representatives from the players' association were also on the scene by that time, sources told Broussard.

Arthur told the Commercial Appeal he had no involvement with mar1juana and denied ever using the drug.

"About the mar1juana ... I didn't have any. I didn't have anything to do with mar1juana or anything like that. I'd like to clear that up," Arthur said, according to the newspaper. "I used bad judgment by bringing the girls in and violating the rules."

Sources said NBA commissioner David Stern was livid about the situation and ordered the players banished from the program. During his speech to participants on Wednesday, he mentioned Chalmers and Arthur by name and told the 67 rookies in attendance that the two would be thrown out of the program and forced to attend the 2009 session.

Arthur, who faces a $20,000 league-imposed fine and whatever additional punishment the Grizzlies or the NBA might add, said he plans to counsel youths in the Memphis area, according to the report.

"I want kids not to make the mistake I made," Arthur said, according to the newspaper. "I want to try to teach them the right thing to do. If you follow the rules you won't be in the same position I'm in. I feel terrible. I should have never opened the door. If I wouldn't have done that, everything would have been cool. I knew the rules and I made a mistake."

Arthur is already is working on plans to get involved in the community. He plans to address juvenile first-offenders at a local YMCA, help open a reading and learning center at a Boys and Girls Club and spend time with at-risk youths in Memphis' inner-city schools.

"The thing I've learned is that you've always got to make the right decisions," Arthur said. "I'm young and starting off in a hole so I'm going to try to dig myself out of this hole and make this thing right. I'm going to make sure I do the right thing. The rules are clear. Letting those girls come in my room was just a bad idea. It was bad judgment and I just have to learn from it."

I know when the story first broke I saw Beasley's name in it. I see some hush money has been passed around. The 2nd time I checked back on the article yesterday his name was completely removed.

Now some details broke

I wonder who was in the bathroom!? In any case, maybe the public would buy all that BS. I think we all know better, even if no assumptions could be made.
