[Hoot Gibson]

Why hate on his intelligence? I'm sure you don't know him personally. You do realize he was going to dUKe, if he were to have played college ball, and dummys can't get into that university.
I don't have a link to that statement, but Mark Jackson said it during one of the Laker games.

I believe that Mark Jackson was mistaken or maybe he was being sarcastic. It the quote is accurate and true, then it should be very easy to find a link to substantiate your claim.

I am sure that Kobe's parents sent him to some good schools but nobody is going to mistake him for an English professor. A player with a Master's degrees in English might have used a different obscenity that would not have drawn a $100,000 fine from the league. That money would have paid for some poor student's entire college education - or his own.
