Let’s not forget Duke Lacrosse

Posted by topofthethread on May 3, 2008

People have their own political and business agendas. How do we prevent what happened to the Duke Lacrosse team from happening again. In this instance a “dirty” politician happened to have gotten caught. The kids involved are still effected by the whole event. They lost out on a year of their life. They were forced to go through a traumatic event. The 3 accused had their names in the press and will undoubtedly be known for that event forever. Look, they are not alter boys, but typical college kids. Did they do anything wrong? Depending upon your morales, yes and no. Did they deserve what they went through… absolutley not.

How do we prevent this from happening again?

Kevin Love of UCLA joins the NBA draft — He too is better than Hansbrough

Posted by topofthethread on April 18, 2008

Now Kevin Love of UCLA will be entering the NBA draft. He is ready. Big body at 6-10″ and 270 lbs. He can step right in to the NBA and be a 12 pt 8 reb guy on day #1. He will fit into most teams as a signifcant contributor.

Michael Beasley of Kansas State will be a better pro than Love.

… And Both Love and Beasley will be better than Tyler Hansbrough….

It’s hard to argue otherwise.

Michael Beasley vs Tyler Hansbrough — College Hoops

Posted by topofthethread on April 15, 2008

Michael Beasley of Kansas State is headed to the NBA. He declared his intentions today. He will be a great professional player. Athletic. Talented. No doubt about it….

Let’s face it. Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina “was” a great college player. The problem is a part of his college game was, often, he pushed and forced his way around. He won’t be able to do that when he plays with “adults” in the NBA.
