haven't read the whole thread but it is funny to me that the very best place, and probably the time where most of us matured and learned about responsibility, finances, living on our own, etc, is at the college plantation.

But the difference is that students only go to college for the education.

The so called student athlete who generates money for the university is there because he was to turn pro.

If everybody really cared, the NCAA, THE STUDENT ATHLETE AND THE NBA owners, we wouldn't be talking like this.

Plantation AD's only want their crop (money made) by their slaves and really don't care that much what kind of background they came from .

The NBA cares more about how they look(dress) for work, than how they function in life. What is wrong with that picture? The players are the product that creates all the buzz , show more concern about humanity.

Tell me that you have either talked with an NBA player or agent and know the experience of what the player is going through.... after that, I will start to take your rants about what the NBA and Player's Union are doing or not doing a little more seriously.

the principle is that you can teach anyone the ropes if you inform them properly.

That's all the NBA has to do. Lectures are not the way that young people recieve important info , they're use to video form instructions.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
