    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting briang8818:</div><div class="quote_post">many people said carmelo should have won the ROY because hes in the playoffs and Lebrons not. but by that reasoning, Wade and Darko should be co-ROY because theyre both still there</div>


    I almost laughed, but it wasn't really funny, and I also thought to myself why do people deliberately like to say some pretty akward things.
    Is Darko on the active roster?

    This is qualifying as one of the least thought of post I've seen lol


    For every good highschool baller that declares, their are like 4 other's that don't do much, but that's probably about the same ratio as the college guys.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting CourtVision:</div><div class="quote_post">Its hard to say that because the last time I checked KG came from highschool. So did JO, Lebron, Kobe, T-Mac.....all from highschool. All of these highschool kids are the superstars of todays game, the ones who attract the fans. One of the reasons the NBA declined in attendance and revenue is because of the departure of MJ. Once he left all of the bandwagon fans picked up and left too.

    BTW Since Lebron came to the NBA attendance has gone up. He's generating tons of cash for the NBA so I don't see why he is doing more harm than good. I don't think any highschooler has had the impact that Lebron had ever. To say that Freddy Adu's games attract 25000-30000 means nothing. There are a lot more seats in soccer games than in basketball games. You forget to note the fact that Lebron is selling out every seat in every arena he goes to. If that is not amazing I don't know what is.

    To say that Lebron does not live up to the hype is an overstatment. This guy faced the hype and ran through it like a cannon ball. If you said in the beginning of the season that Lebron would play for the playoffs and average 20 5 and 5 I would laugh in your face.</div>

    Yeah, & it took 10 years for Garnett to win his 1st play off series. At this rate, it will take another 10 years before he actually wins his 1st title. Meanwhile Tracy McGrady hasnt lead his team anywhere and Kobe is just another good player without Shaq. But for ever good highschooler, you have 5 bad ones who get drafted, & the entire level of play gets brought down. Now every highschooler feels if they arent going pro, they wont get drafted. 10 years down the line, the NBA will greatly suffer from all the HS'ers going pro.
