Jamahl Mosley sniffing salt before the game tonight - Magic vs. 76ers
Can’t blame him. Watching Orlando Magic basketball without the aid of controlled substances must be impossible.
Can confirm.
Um ackshually smelling salts are not controlled substances
Watching Orlando magic will make me understandable if that were ackshuall controlled substances lmao
So I seen smelling salts like 5 years ago watching nfl heavy hitting lbs get pumped up.
Looked kinda cool bc I thought it actually serves a purpose for like your physical performance. Like I pictured pre workout, I dunno why. I’m dumb. Like actually giving your cells more nutrients to perform. I don’t know why I thought that bc it’s just a smell.
Long story short I forgot about it
Some dude brings it into work last week. I try it and holy shit it’s like fire alarm for the brain. It def wakes you up but it goes away in a few minutes. And the only reason you wake up is bc you have crazy ass foreign shit in your body and your brain is ready to fight to the death.
I have an addictive personality , like to a huge fault. Smelling salts might be the dumbest thing ever. I think the only reason it caught on is bc of marketing
Umnmmmm akshoouhlee time:
Mechanism of Action: ”…the released ammonia gas dissolves in the moisture of the nasal mucus membranes, forming ammonium hydroxide, which causes intense irritation. This irritation triggers the trigeminal nerve, causing a reflex that increases breathing rate and oxygen flow to the brain.”

Combine them with adenosine-blocking compounds like say…caffeine, and perhaps additional vasodilators and/or respiratory/muscular modulators like Nitric Oxide or beta alinine and now you’ve really got something. Something that won’t get you suspended or on a league Drug Treatment Program.
The smelling salts are to wake him up because the benzos make him sleepy.
If only he the head coach could do something about it
Sadly there’s nothing that can be done about it other than just giving credit to the other team.
He came from the doc rivers school of coaching and sniffing things
Come on guys!
They are definitely OTC and not a controlled substance if anyone was wondering.
Surprised he doesnt have a flask of vodka nearby.
Oh yeah that’s a man that knows he’s coaching for his job. It’s lock the fuck in time
They did not in fact, lock the fuck in.
He got eepy and took a nap
2 bumps of cocaine helps you focus. Anything more is just a vacation.
One bite of a doughnut brings much joy.
Two bites brings sadness.
Even if it’s really good blow, 2 bumps ain’t lasting an entire game
Lol the better the blow, the shorter it lasts (because it’s not cut with amphetamine or similar long lasting stims). But yeah real coke lasts like 90 minutes so that ain’t lasting him the whole game
Lock in salts
I think he knows no matter what happens this game and the next he is a goner next season lol
That shit is intense. My man is locked the fuck in
My man locking in, getting ready to say “We uh…need more effort!” 62 times in the postgame presser 😤😤
rebound around the free throw line!
Crash the boards!
Have they thought about just trying harder? What are they, stupid or something?
Go hard on em dudes
Does anyone know if smelling salts are common among players? They recently banned teams from giving them out in the NFL and I was surprised how upset guys were. They are way more popular than I realized lol
They banned teams from providing them for players. Players can still provide for themselves iirc
To add to your comment, they banned teams from providing them to players because they can help mask symptoms of a concussion.
Well that isn’t great, had not heard that before.
Smelling salts are the new Toradol.
Idk about that. Toradol is extremely hard on your kidneys if taken too much. It’s a wonder drug for inflammation.
I saw the Blazers tag and went all GP3
ya that’s what he said
Never got an answer to the original question but it’s already spun off into people “clarifying” and “adding to it”. I don’t know what I expected.
it really is shocking how bad people’s ability to read has gotten. i think every second or third reply i get is just totally wrong or inscrutable because the person misreads something.
I think a good 70% or so of the people who engage in threads here are just looking for something to correct. Not to engage in conversation, the goal is to be right. I mean, how often do you see a totally open ended question like “what’s your favorite 90’s show?” and there are dozens of “this is the answer” replies in the thread? People seem less willing to talk and more willing to argue by the day.
actually it’s more like 80% but whatever.
ya it really is distressing.
100%. The worst is when they correct grammatical words. Like people spell check and take the time to be “grammatically correct”. Um…. No we just bang shit in and don’t proofread it’s Reddit man
First saw Jaxson Hayes use them earlier in the season. More recently LeBron was caught hitting them just before tip off on a national broadcast and the announcer called it out. Can’t remember which game, vs Warriors perhaps.
I’ve seen Donovan Mitchell sniffing them before games
High School coaches in Track and Swimming etc where championship meets go hours, and you have TWO , one girls and a Boys! Love finding these in the med kits! Lifesavers!
Saw a clip of Doug Christie using them
Common in the NHL
Proceeds to get smacked
When your seat is as hot as his, you’ll try anything.
He’s been doing this from day one lol
I remember once seeing him sharing with mo wagner
Including “salt”
No quotation marks needed here
TIL
Structure
There are two chemical forms of cocaine, the hydrochloride salt and what is called the "freebase." Cocaine hydrocholoride is in a powder form and is able to dissolve in water. It is this form that can be intravenously or intranasally. Freebase cocaine has not been neutralized by acid to form the salt. It is this form that is smok
I spot long time assistant coach Joe Prunty. Real NBA fans know.
Pruntdog!
Interim GOAT
Hawks legend
He inevitable. Love that guy
Immediately thought of him in his purple shirt and tie losing to the Celtics in 7
Oh ya Prunty is a real one
Always hired this dude as Assistant Coach on 2k
idk why people willingly use that stuff lol
it’s fuckin VILE lmao
It is to forcefully wake their brain up so they can lock in
Drink a coffee or something like a normal person then lol
Man coffee takes too long in comparison lol this shit hits you like a truck
It’s like getting mach punched by Machamp.
Edit: Machamp in fact learns Mach Punch in Legends Arceus, therefore this joke works
This is the best analogy I think we can all understand haha
Legends arceus was so much fun
I really want to get around to Z-A, I’m just waiting to get a Switch 2 so it doesn’t run like doo doo, plus I got so many other switch games to play right now.
If only he knew there was a game scheduled so he could take some caffeine ahead of time.
you actin like this dude aint on some sort of stimulant chemical already. the salts are for a little boost to what hes already got going on chemically im sure.
I’m just replying to the comment above claiming coffee takes too long. I don’t care if Mosley is taking horse tranquilizers.
He’s going to need a lot more pick me ups if he’s also on tranqs
Caffeine doesn’t hit the same for everybody.
Oh no, he definitely does that too/is on some sort of stimulant.
Have you done salts before? I’m not asking in a combative way at all, genuinely curious.
They really fucking hit. There’s a reason the NFL banned them.
The nfl did not ban them they just dont let the teams supply them to the players anymore
Lmfao… yeah.. maybe a lil prepared cappuccino
It’s probably because these type of people already drink so much coffee, they’re desensitized to it.
As in, he probably did drink coffee. He wanted more.
Speaking as a non-caffeine user and an occasional coke user, caffeine fucks me up less intensely in the beginning but way more/longer through the rest.
This is probably wildest “as a…” I’ve read in a while.
Yeah pretty rare to see a non-caffeine user
why not both?
because one of them tastes and smells amazing and the other smells like my nose just got a glimpse into the pits of hell lol
As a guy who powerlifts it’s because they are amazing
Yeah, shit is gnarly. Felt like my nose hairs were all going to burn off
Because they fucking work
Why does he have to hide him smelling it? Lol
It shows an adult on tv snorting something. That’s the last thing any sports league want spliced into a viral TikTok the next day
It’s pretty common in other sports though, at least NFL and NHL.
Didn’t it get banned in the NFL last season?
Teams were banned from providing it to players (as it’s a common workaround to avoid showing concussion symptoms) but players are allowed to bring their own for sideline use
how long does it last? like he could’ve done that in the locker room.
Not a good look to younger kids/ general public
He probably went back there so he didn’t accidentally light up the other coaches with it lol.
But we’re not talking about the half can of Cope in nick nurse’s mouth?
Fat dip in that lip
Spurs broadcast guy Jacob Tobey doing smelling salts before a game is one of my favorite moments of the season
bro does it directly in front of the camera without even trying to be discreet lmao
Jacob has got big golden retriever energy.
wow, spilled it all over. Like Woody Allen with the cocaine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k6GqVWWLNs
Oh my god
That’s wild
Hey, at least it’s not the other one. 👀
There’s a reason why that bottle is opaque👀👀
the bottle was also prepared by somebody else
so contents of said bottle wasn’t known to said individual
plausible deniability,
They should ban use out in public. Do it during a piss break or something ffs, it looks like dope fiend behavior.
weird take
Still accurate lol
Yeah everyone got an upvote here, I detect 0 lies lol
Do this shit at work, around your family, and kids. Go crazy bro.
It’s worse that he turned to hide it. It was hilarious when larry fitz hit Pam Oliver with the smelling salts
Why? It’s not a drug there’s nothing wrong with smelling salts lol
It just looks gross man, I’m not arguing the legality of it but it looks terrible for million dollar coach’s in a billion dollar sports league.
I think him trying to hide it made it look worse than if he just openly sniffed it lol
bro look like he had a couple nose beers in a club restroom
He’s done that literally every game since he started coaching.
Looking like a drug addict lol
My 7th grade health teacher gave us an assignment to put together a full first aid kit for our homes, complete with smelling salts.
The day we brought them in for a grade was the day we all tried the smelling salts. Imagine a whole middle-school class huffing those bad boys!
Bro have to delude himself that PB no J is their Cade Cunningham, i’d probably just do cocaine as well as
First time I’ve heard pb no j
That’s so perfect lol
Is there any other way to watch an EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAY IN?? Zzzzzzz
coach locking in
Was that really salt? Asking for a friend
Tight tight tight!
Is he gonna sub himself in?
I’ve never seen this done so much until this season
Maybe there’s an offensive strategy in that salt. You never know.
One could only dream
Locked the fuck in
He’s coaching for his freedom
Joe Prunty is the only undefeated head coach in Atlanta Hawks history. He still has unfinished business in the league, as his tenure here was unfortunately cut short by the arrival of Quinn “3 Ball or Die” Schneider . So basically if Mosley gets fired, and Orlando ownership actually realizes that they have a man capable to lead this team to the promised land already on staff, then the Magic will go completely undefeated for the next three years entirely until he retires on top there after.
Joe Prunty is inevitable
He’s gotta lock in
Gets the blood pumping
First time seeing a coach do this.
There was clip of a different coach doing it last week lol
I looked into the health hazards of using these regularly after wondering if they’d do anything for ADHD symptoms. Everything I found was like “yeah, you don’t want to ingest these often.”
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Joe just uses smelling salts to salt his food
What the fuck did I just watch
WTF?
“sniffing salt”?
What is that supposed to do?
Wakes you up
Is this a new trend? I just seen a video with Doug Christie hitting the Salts his reaction was pretty funny
I’ve seen multiple coaches and their extended coaching staff do this before games these past two seasons. You see it all the time on the league pass in-arena broadcast.
It’s wild the stuff coaches are doing these days to try and get an edge and handle the overwhelming stress.
Forgive my ignorance but I did not know this was a thing lol
Get right get tight
Doug Christie been doing this all season.. results may vary
I thought Doug Christie was the only one who did this.
Doug does it more openly tho lol
Does this actually work?
Oh yeah.
At the very least you’ll be alert
lol-looks like he picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!
can’t have a coffee 30mins before like a normal person? He’s not about to lift heavy weight or maybe he is
they weren’t sufficient, he should have tried crack cocaine instead
i’ve always wanted to try it. my ego says i’ll handle it. can it be like dangerous is it safe if i buy one
I’ve never had any adverse effects while sniffing them, that’s as much as I can tell you.
Locked in.
Psycho Joe would never
Can’t blame this shit is putting me to sleep.
I need to try this shit one time in my life lol. Dudes just perk the fuck up once they take a whiff 😂
How do the Magic underperform their potential so badly?
Someone play Bath Salts by ASAP Mob and Flatbush Zombies
FLATBUSH ZOMEBIES
ASAP MOBBIN
HIT A KILLSWITCH AND PUT AN END TO ANY PROBLEM
A lot of coaches get about 0 sleep.
Loved the No Dunks guys doing this
Dead man walking
I bet he had fun in the 80’s.
why you think they’re called Magic
lol I need this shit for the after lunch lull where I’m damn near falling asleep during meetings while standing up
Doug Christie does this shit.
Maybe there is a common thread???
Coaching for his job tonight lol
That’s cocaine
Them drugs.
No talent, dirty rotten bums. Fuck the magic
It’s his last game as coach, so why not!
Look at my dab.
I’m next
Why does a Coach need that?
Smelling salts have no benefit nor effect. It’s just stanky
WTF
He was trying to lock in. You can’t help a team shoot better from the sidelines
Guy is a drunk
He does this every game lol
Josh Allen approves
Is it to compensate for being awake all night?
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing salt.
That’s nothing, Doug Christie has been doing this every game this season and he doesn’t even try to hide it.
did not know this was a thing. will look it up.
this guy gets fired and i guarantee the magic aren’t such a dirty team in a couple years. fuck this guy
I’ve taken them to work before. I’m a head chef and before a big shift me and my boys would all take a whiff and get pumped up!
