    well anyone who knows anything about the way basketball works knows that going straight out of hs is not the best idea. If anyone was smart they would go straight to college play it through and then go pro. You gain better knowledge and learn your own skills better as well as learn how to play as a team. HS ball all the way to Pro is a HUGE jump. Plus if you go straight through and something happens likey ou get hurt you are screwed and you have no degree or anything to back it up. College is by far the best way to go and they treat you like gold anywayz. I think making the jump is dumb and yes Lebron james was a great player but hes an acception. Not everyone makes it after the jump theres only a select few.

    Jaime, your point about injuries is another argument for going straight to the pros. If you are a pro prospect and forgo that to go to college and have a career ending injury you don't have shit. If you get a $1mill signing bonus and play for 2 years and have a career ending injury you can still afford to pay your way through college if you want to. Just another perspective.

    Main reason he didnt go college route, was he was dumb as shit.

    Barely graduated, with like a 2.2 or some shit. Low SAT's. The kid is plain out dumb. He would have failed out in college.

    if i were in these high school stars shoes, i would prob go the nba and go ahead and get the money, cause you never know about what could happen with injuries and such. but on the other hand there are some awesome experiences and life situations that you'll learn in college and never learn in the NBA. i do think louis got lucky in that he now gets to learn from Allen Iverson, the man he has been compared too for the last year. i'm not saying he's as good, but his game is similar and now he gets to learn first hand from him, which will ultimately make his game that much better and prob give him what he needs to become a good NBA player, if he has that in him.
