Remind Me Why We Watch College Hoops Again
Let ‘em paint their face, gawk at Erin Andrews, memorize the chants, co-opt their team’s glory as their own. That’s what college is there for. Live it up. This isn’t a brushback pitch against the college athletics experience. But this is a clarification that none of that is basketball. There are the naysayers who berate the pro game, ignore the women’s game and deign to call the college game the best basketball has to offer.
But those people are confused. They must be, because it’s not even close.
How the Draft Should Have Gone
The NBA Draft has come and gone, but the 14 lottery teams got it all wrong. They shouldn’t be going after the top prospects from here and abroad. The Clippers, Grizzlies and other bad NBA teams should have picked up the player that they really need. It might have been a robot, a mom or Kunte Kinte. But had they followed our advice, you can bet that one of these teams would be playing in the Finals one year from now.
