Gimme a break, buddy.
Throw me 100,000 dollars to play basketball and you bet your life I'll take it.
I don't know if I'd take the 2,000 from the crack dealer like Maggette did....
However, acting like I can get eligible to play in the NCAA after taking 6 figures in for a whole year is a whole different story.
I work week in and week out, overtime every week, get 2 weeks worth of days off for a year and I don't even clear 100,000 a year with my wife's earnings added in...
and I'm supposed to let some snot-nosed teenager over in Turkey who made 100,000 to play basketball for a few months out of the year come over here and act like he's done nothing wrong, get a paid education that he won't get any use out of, take a scholarship from a kid who deserves it, and then leave UK to make millions of dollars in the NBA and never look back.
Then I can't say anything about it because if I do I'm a hypocrite?!?!
Gimme a break....

Yeah, exactly what Im saying. If you were 18 years old, and someone was going to pay you $100k for playing a kids game, you would jump all over it. When you are 18, you arent thinking about taking a scholly from another kid (who's probably getting paid too). He didnt do anything wrong, and that paid education is a bunch of jargon. How many players off of last years UK team got a "paid education"? Paid education is for players like Jon Hood or someone with zero NBA future, not Enes Kanter, John Wall, Demarcus Cousins..
