You have to Be Kidding ME!!
Sebastian Telfair goes PRO....You have to be kidding me.....Well, Good luck, and have fun in....Stockholm in 2007, where he'll be the best point guard in the Swedish league.
The Sebsastian Telfair case is a laugher. People are really bewildered that this kid left the chance to go to Louisville and chose to go pro. However, people don't realize that this "lamb" probably had to go pro due to "the wolves" that have hung around him over the past few months.....Isn't it strange when someone who presents the argument of economic hardship drives around Brooklyn in an Escalade.....It's also hilarious that he's been working out in Greece with his cousin, former Providence player, Jameel Thomas. This guy was planning on going to Louisville? C'mon he barely would have graduated from Lincoln High.
Michael Wilbon from the Washington Post and ESPN's PTI made a great statement that it's tragic for the African-American community that "not hundreds...but thousands of kids think they can throw away education for the chance to make it to a league where few slots are available, and they look at this is a way out." I'm in total agreement. With Telfair going to Greece, believe me, many kids are going to be pulling out of their senior year....very similar to college football, where players have been leaving school to prepare for their college career. However, those players are enrolled in college. Players like Telfair are playing video games before and after their workouts.......What a travesty this is for urban youth...
What's even more hilarious is that Telfair hit only for a combined two buckets in the Vaccaro Original Roudball Classic, the McDonald's All-American game, and the Nike Hoop Summit, which showcased the best high school seniors in the U.S. v. the best high school players in the rest of the world....Combined with 18 Assists in three games....Yeech.....
I'm sorry that I'm against the hype of SLAM magazine, Chris Ballard's article in SI, and Dime Magazine, but this guy is not even close to the first round. To double my shock is the 1-2 Million dollar Adidas contract that he landed. Telfair is not even projected to go in the first round....There has to be several contingencies on that contract.
Here's six point guards that would egg-beat him right now....Dee Brown, Raymond Felton, Andrew Lavender, Chris Thomas, Jameer Nelson, and Nate Robinson. Tops....He's the #7 guard that will be available to NBA teams over the next two years. Ridiculous, especially when he has his build.
Well, good luck Bassy... I'll think you'll make a uni look good....too bad it'll be Omar Cook's old Fayetteville jersey from the NBDL.
Age Limit NOW....Protect the NBA product,
