Unfortately, yes.
I saw a member of the King family play a NBA game on drugs.
Bernard "Cocaine" King, 1 NBA MVP and 1 NBA scoring title and 2 time First Team All NBA honors, I saw play in person shoot 1 for 11 from the free throw line with almost all of the 10 missed free throws being air balls and shoot 6 for 13 from the field with 7 air balls from the field with all of his makes coming from layups right near the basket (except for the one free throw).
Finally, on a breakaway, the NBA refs had enough of King.
King, I guess didn't run up the court and got the ball thown to him while King was the only one standing at halfcourt on a quick steal or something like by one of King's teammates that with no one between him and his basket, and King went in for a breakaway slam dunk with no defensive player within 20 feet of King as King attempted his slam.
King jammed his slam underneath the rim as King playing on drugs mis-timed his jump.
King went one way on his backend down and the ball went the other way to his offensive corner where an opponent trailing at a great distance behind King's breakaway slam dunk attempt, the opponent recovered the ball.
King got up and started yelling at the ref pointing to the opponent who never was within 20 feet of King on his botched slam dunk attempt. King was trying to convince the NBA ref that this opponent who had been 20 feet away when the rim blocked King's shot that the opponent had fouled King on his way up for the slam which is why King claimed he missed the slam dunk.
I think that because King was so blown away on drugs that the refs didn't even wait to give King two techincals as the refs either called two technicals on King all at once or called one technical and because it was so apparent that King was playing a NBA basketball game on drugs that the NBA refs immediately ejected King from the game.
So, any reference to Bernard "Cocaine" King comes from this, plus at some point not much later possibly in the same year, King was arrested at like 4 AM in the morning sleeping in the middle of a Manhattan intersection in his Corvette full of cocaine and a smaller amount of marijuana.
Too bad that such misfortune befell the King family.
As Bernard "Cocaine" King probably had in a previous season had had the second best individual season of any NBA player I have seen in person with my own eyes.

yes, many of them are. pretty much all of the cases we here about nba players getting arrested are a result of one of those three.
