Too Racis’.
In theory minor league pro basketball. Minor leagues which is something that should exist for all professional sports (already exists for pro baseball!). It would spare colleges & universities the hypocrisy of the modern student athlete. Unfortunately the “Big 2 - Football & Basketball” generate so much revenue a lot of universities can’t do with out them.
He’s right. Heaven forbid that the athlete is educated enough to make sure an agent, manager, or lawyer doesn’t take most of their money. Bell has got those sleazebags backs.
“if you really that guy”
Find the verb.
I don’t remember his name but he played for the Lakers when they won. Black man...really nice man. Marty Levin of tmz on his Objectified show interviewed him.
He said his parents told him to get a college degree. He did. He bought his son a brand new Lambo and told him he couldn’t drive it until he graduated from college.
I really enjoyed that interview. Dang wish I could remember his name...big tall guy, went to a Florida team after he left the Lakers. Used to get into it with Kobe all the time.
He’s basically right. The overwhelming majority of NCAA Division I basketball players are unqualified for and uninterested in the academic programs offered by the colleges and universities that they attend. It’s a farce to classify them as student-athletes when everyone know they’re really only there to play basketball. Going through the motions of earning a degree in sociology or similar really doesn’t to them any favors and wastes university resources that might otherwise be devoted to actual students.
Wasn’t/isn’t this moron on Sesame Street? Talk a poor role model. Any athlete worth a damn will tell kids to stay in school because your odds of getting into the pros are slim to none.
Oops. Just realized I confused him with LeVar Burton
If a professional league of college level athletes was formed to play on Sunday and honor the Flag and National Anthem, I’d watch it.
and if your kids can ball you can be loudmouth idiot and get your name in the paper every other day.
Why is anyone shelling out their hard earned money to watch these freeloaders play ball?
” ‘If you want to be a pro athlete, you don’t need to spend 50% of your time in class’”
You do if you want to have better money management skills than Mike Tyson.
“If you want to be a pro athlete, you don’t need to spend 50% of your time in class’”
Correction:
If you signed a contract, where given a multi-million dollar, non-refundable, no questions asked signing bonus, and the check cleared, then yes, you really don’t have to go to class.
Yo What if you really not dat n###a an’ spend 100 percent playing ball an’ 0 percent getting an education? what the #### sup now?
Hell, you don’t even need to know how to read.
What happened to Lithuania?
And if that doesn’t work out for you you can always go work a low wage job...
