Well kids need to be financial stable so that’s why many left early and they were too talented some guys are an exception education and getting a job after is a good alternative plan but doesn’t always work. It’s not just a degree but you need experience and skills. It’s better for guys to play professionally and wait a year
The feedback he received from GMs is why he made the right decision because he got the right information. That’s not the case for everyone . T-Mac was a beast in his prime. Arguably the best pure scorer ever. Always loved watching him and VC
We leave full-time education at 16 in UK,well 15 for me as my birthday's August and in summer holidays. Then it's off to the building sites to earn money for the likes of me. We don't have this 'college' experience like US does.It could be why in 76 years of the nba there's been only SEVEN brits make it.
Scholastic sports I remember this show showed I remember this episode and theu showed kobe the yr before I caught both of these on off days from school
LeBron PG Kobe SG Dwight Howard C T-Mac SF Garnett PF This “High School To Pro” Squad in their primes could feasibly beat any combination of players in the history of the NBA.
In a video game, yes. In real life, no. The perimeter players all need the ball in their hands all the time to be successful, so there would be little to no chemistry.
@@darkskinglory899 A whole bunch of centers could take Dwight, MJ could take Kobe, KD, Bird or Dr. J could take T-Mac offensively and Pippen could contain him defensively. Kawhi would be a tough match up for him on both ends. Tim Duncan or Karl Malone could take KG Magic may not be able to guard LeBron 1 on 1, but he would be a better floor general for his team. The guys he listed would have no chemistry together because LeBron, T-mac and Kobe cannot play off ball. Kobe would likely assert himself as the alpha because he is (was) the most strong-willed of the three, but the team would not be successful against a more carefully built team. Magic, MJ and Pippen would better because Magic would be the playmaker, MJ the scorer and Pippen the lock down defender who does not need the ball in his hands much. There has to be hierarchy for a team to be successful; players need to know and accept their roles.
Love him or hate him, this is why Chicago Bulls GM Jerry Krause was such a genius and people downplay his ability to make deals and recognize talent to surround MJ with. He first recognized the need to trade for Pippen on draft night out of obscure Arkansas. Krause recognized that Doug Collins needed to be replaced and recognized that assistant coach Phil Jackson who had never been a head coach, was the man for the job despite protests from Jordan. Krause then recognized that an unproven young Tracy McGrady was the ideal player to replace a prime Scottie and play alongside MJ to become the future of the league. (These are just a few examples of the foresight Krause had for exceptional basketball talent).
Basketball was HUUUUGGGE in the late 90s. Right after the Jordan era, EVERYBODY was hooping. That was a long time ago. It's crazy how time just FLEW by.
You did it Tmac you made the decision to jump in the NBA draft and got drafted. Started off rocky but become a super star and a hall of Famer in just a few years congratulations Tmac
These younger kids don't know how dangerous this man was on those old 2K games. From like 2K2 to like 2K9 he was a bucket, a walking 40. He was fast as hell, he could dribble, he could shoot from wherever and he could dunk on everybody. He was like a created player.
Me too.. First Time I seen LeBron I thought he'd be mentioned in the Goat debate. I also called Brady's 7 or 8 rings back when he was playing for Michigan I said don't draft Oden over K.D I knew Hillary would lose, and soon as I heard the Joke I yelled for Chris Rock to duck. But What I Remember most was Telling Malcolm Butler to Jump the route its a pass play.
