Former NBA All-Star Cliff Robinson to enter weed business
Just call him Spliff Robinson.
Former NBA All-Star Cliff Robinson, who played on five teams including the Portland Trail Blazers throughout his career, is going into the marijuana game.
Robinson will open a business where he lives in Portland, Ore., under the aptly named Uncle Spliffy - a play on the nickname he earned on the hardwood, Uncle Cliffy.
"It's an opportunity for me to get out there and tell people a little bit about myself outside of basketball," Robinson told the Portland Business Journal. "People in Oregon know me as a basketball player, but I want to distill the stigma around cannabis, the misperception that athletes and cannabis are incompatible."
There's no timetable for the launch of the business, but the website UncleSpliffy.com has a coming soon message, with a massive pot leaf in the background.
