RE: The Decision: Kobe Chooses The NBA Over College
When I saw video of Kobe working out for the Celts I was hyped. A girl can dream. Instead we got shimmering - Employee number 8...Antoine Walker. I'm OK with it now. Talent wise....that draft was insane.
For fun....since we are on the subject of high school to NBA stars. Here is Layla's ALL-High School to NBA- Bust Team.
LEON SMITH- 1990 - 29th overall Spurs [After swallowing a ton of asprins, throwing rocks through car windows and before being sent to the psych ward, famously exclaimed "I am an Indian fighting Columbus!!"
KWAME BROWN - 2001 - 1st overall Wizards
SEBASTIAN TELFAIR - 2004 - 13th overall Portland (was a huge fan)
JONATHAN BENDER - 1999 - 5th overall Raptors
SUNTINO KORLEONE YOUNG - 1998 - 40th overall Pistons
Hahaha I haven't even heard of half those guys😂😂. I love making All-NBA lists like that. My starting point guard for the ALL-NBA "Keep It Real" team is Allen Iverson. Rasheed Wallace (Ball Don't Lie!) and Charles Barkley are on there too
Haha. I’m glad you liked the list. You need to finish your squad. I’d add Charles Oakley to that team. Not sure of the last spot. Ben Wallace? (X-Man) Xavier McDaniel? Bill Lambeer? That’s one tough group of dudes. Lol
: )
Charles Oakley is a real one too! Might have to slot him in at pf, but he and Rasheed should probably come off the bench because I think Chuck should start. The Knicks did Oakley so dirty when they kicked him out of that game recently! OK so shooting guard we are gonna put kobe because he kept it real with teammates, to the detriment of the relationship a lot of times. And at center we are gonna put Z-bo because he doesn't take any shit. Small forward I think we are gonna give it to Larry Bird his shit talking was so legendary and he always backed it up too! You have your ALL-NBA Keep it Real starting lineup of Iverson, kobe, Larry bird, Charles Barkley, and Z-bo.
Through The Fire with Sebastian Telfair changed my life. Everyone wanted to be like Bassy. Unfortunately he is the classic example of why the one and done rule was put in place. He needed college in the worst way, just wasn't mature enough as a human being.
Maybe I shoulda kept Sebastian off the list. I’ll take him off and put Ricky Sanchez in his place. Lol
I totally agree. And loved the film. It totally changed my opinion of Steph too. I was a Starbury fan and the way Bassy and his mom were treated was kind of grimy.
Unfortunately Bassy never grew up. Had those arrests for driving with loaded guns and weed in the car. The latest one (just last year)he had a bullet proof vest. A shame because he had skills and was lightning quick.
How about a guy like Lenny Cooke who was a high school star, entered the draft and not selected? Shame.
