these guys have the control if they want it. just ask kobe or eli manning. both forced the hand of teams that drafted them and never played a minute for them.


to call a 17/18 year old kid a traitor because he chooses to play his college ball somewhere besides his hometown is dumb IMO. That's just out of bitterness if you ask me. I say good on them for being their own person and making decisions for themselves and not just because that's what everyone else thinks they should do. It's their life, not mine.

Not every situation is the same. But I think there are some owners out there without balls that need to call their bluff.

This story, first mentioned in AuTx's quote of a tweet, reminds me of OJ trying to get his memorabilia back in Vegas.

If it's true, the woman should file charges for kidnapping, and negotiate the return of the jewelry piece with the dropping of the charges.

By the same token, are you saying that some kid staying home is just listening to what other people tell them to do?

You just completely whiffed on the point. People are allowed to make their own decision and have their own values. The rest of us don't have to respect them if we think they are misguided, disrespectful, disloyal or just plain stupid.

Look at the Michael Redd situation. It answers your aforementioned question, which I believe was appropriately described as dumb.

Bron's boys shook down a woman over a piece of jewelery so tacky that Liberace would've been ashamed to wear it. I feel sorry for the woman, but I'm happy about every bit of bad press that coming that crew's way.

Liberace Reference:groove3: rep.

Speaking of which, Gilbert is coming off a little bit like a girl who gladly took it up the ass at every opportunity, then told everyone her b.f. was a pervert after he dumped her.

I get your point. If it goes against the decision you want, then that kid is "misguided, disrespectful, disloyal, or just plain stupid." I'm reading you loud and clear.


naw man, what I said is I wouldn't bang on a kid who is making decisions at 17/18 years old to the point where I would call him a traitor. It's his decision.

...and what, exactly, does a kid who has never played have to do with a grown man who spent seven years in a city that he essentially held hostage for three years? You're leading us down a rabbit trail here...
