she said she doesn't like high school basketball players getting drafted by the NBA and skipping college because she feels they should get a education. I agree with her about that. There's too many high school basketball players getting drafted and they're not ready for the NBA. A small percentage of them do well in the league like Amare Stoudemire, Al Harrington, Kobe, Lebron, Shawn Kemp, Moses Malone, Darryl Dawkins, Jermaine O Neal, Tracy McGrady. But what about high school players that turn pro like Kwame Brown and do nothin? LOL. I'm sure there's other high school players who turned pro that didn't do nothin but i can't think of them right now. A education is so important because just in case you don't get drafted to play pro sports, you gotta do somethin else and that's why college or a trade school is important for a person to take care of themselves. Blacks are always at the bottom when it comes to academics anyway so that's why reading and a education is so important in order to survive out here. Al Harrington who plays for the Atlanta Hawks is a terrible speaker. I was reading a article about Kobe Bryant in Slam magazine this month and Al makes some comments about Kobe. Al was saying stuff like he cold, i done told people, he ain't hahahahahahaha. His language is horrible. Did he learn how to speak in school? LOL. I guess not. Tim Hardaway who was a NBA star for Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat is also a terrible speaker because he used to be a NBA studio analyst for ESPN about 3 years ago and he spoke terribly. I laughed everytime he spoke. He went to college at UTEP which is university of Texas-El Paso. I don't know how many years he went there. Magic Johnson is also a terrible speaker and so is Charles Barkley. I think a lot of these black athletes get passed along in high school and college because they can play sports well and the teachers know they suck academically. I was watching ESPN last Sunday and there was a discussion with Brian Dawkins of Philadelphia Eagles, Doug Williams who played for Washington Redskins and a hispanic pro baseball player. The topic of conversation was about racism in sports. They talked about Vince Young who just got drafted this year in the NFL and he went to University of Texas. He was the star quarterback. They talked about how terrible he did on his college exam. See what i'm talkin about? He can play football well though LOL.

So what if these athletes have more money than us? Does that make them smarter than us? No. The reason why they get paid a lot of money is because they're good at what they do but the white owners and white general managers of these teams know that most black athletes aren't intelligent and they don't speak well. That's why most of them will never own a team and be general manager of a team.
