Time to open up the ol’ medicine cabinet and grab some sodium thiopental or maybe 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate for this list. TheSportster contacted their spies on the ground and we have injected a truth serum into the veins of 15 NBA basketball players. What they told us was shocking and we decided to share the information with you. We kid about using a truth serum on basketball players but we do have 15 secrets that you may want to know.
Everyone has their own dark secrets that they share with no one or maybe a select few. It’s human nature and secrets won’t go away unless we live in a dystopian future where all our thoughts are collected in a data bank. We’re looking at you, Facebook. Some people keep secrets so they don’t hurt another person’s feelings, others keep secrets because they’re too embarrassed by a certain situation. Many NBA players keep secrets because it could harm their professional careers. They can admit to something and the next thing you know they lost that sneaker deal or get suspended by the NBA.
You may not think a secret on this list isn’t bad but just put yourself in that person’s sneakers. Keep in mind their secret could have a stigma attached to it or could end a great relationship with a business or someone.

Regardless of how many states legalize the substance, the NBA doesn’t want any of their members openly using and promoting the plant.
