What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

Rules are rules, bro, dumb or not is irrelevant. Once you signed on the dotted line, you've accepted the terms.

The reason the NCAA is a complete joke is the selective enforcement. It's disgusting and they're completely corrupt. (and that's coming from a fan of a team that has zero violations in 25 years)
 
Word. But was it really his basketball ability that caused him to hit that half-court shot?

Pretty sure it contributed to it. I mean it was a basketball not a football. It was a basketball court not a soccer filed. And it was a basketball hoop not a hoola hoop.

I'd argue it was luck. Would his chances of hitting a half-court be much substantially higher than mine? Maybe, but maybe not

These guys practice the half-court shots ALL THE TIME. In fact it's the main reason they turn up to practices in the first place.


Just ask PKM and DeMarcus Cousins.
 
WTF is a one sided agreement?

Well there were employment issues in basketball teams in the last couple of years. Papers said sth like this: If the team wants out of the agreement it has to pay €1k. If the player wants out of it he has to pay €20k. Such a contract is void by newer rules. And the same issues occured with education contracts. That's the reason many internprograms in companies had to restructure scholarships.
The way I read the NAIA agreement is that the player/student getts a $4k deduction on their fee and in exchange is not allowed to earn any money with his athletic skills which aren't even a real profession. He's also not allowed to throw a ball in lottery type/casino environments. At the same time the team is allowed to make money with the students name, sell jerseys etc.
 
Steph Curry played 148 "clutch" regular season minutes in 2012-13, shot 37% and 28% on 3s.

Found this statistic, which underlines the statement, that Curry is good at taking advantage of bad defense, not so much of creating high percentage opportunities. Plus that's hurting him in playoff games where defense goes up a notch usually.

A broad generalization is not a good defense for a specific event pertaining to one individual
