>>What I honestly don't get is why the top collegians rush to the NBA. What's wrong with being a BMOC? Everything is provided for you, every last thing. The pro money will still be there for you in a year or two. I hope John Wall returns to Kentucky next year to complete unfinished business.

>I think with basketball, you couldn't really do what I'm about to propose, but I bet you can still with baseball. It would be interesting to do a little research to see if there's any correlation between which kids sign with a major league team right out of high school and which go to college first, and the family's socio-economic status. My hypothesis is that the higher the family status a priori, the more likely to go to college first.

Bobby Trump was the guy's name. He made the shot that electrified Indiana, a state of basketball junkies.

The crazy thing about it was how long he waited to take the shot. Milan was down by one and he bounced the ball forever. Insane courage. He arched the shot and it found net. Now there is the drama of sports in a nutshell. He can still get a free meal anywhere in Indiana.
