------- Can you believe this? The unmitigated gall you'd have to have. The outright disrespect you'd need to be comfortable showing. I swear, damn college kids these days just don't get it. An accomplished student-athlete in a big time Division 1 basketball program just bows out of a group project days before it is due... and one of his peers has the audacity to give him attitude? Huh, there goes his/her courtside seats! That'll be the last time he/she gives lip to a scholarship'd star player whose course schedule was merely a suggestion. Back in my day you treated it as a privilege to be in the presence of campus legends whose acceptance wasn't predicated on an agreement to play school. Now, however, NBA Draft hopefuls can't even graciously go out of their way in remembering to inconvenience themselves by reminding the little people of how much bigger they are without being fed a dose of crap about contributing to a class project? Sad times, indeed. Considering he was denied the congratulations he was quite obviously due, "lol, nah..." was well above the call of humility and courtesy for a 21 year old with NBA aspirations to fulfill. I know he dropped out because he's got shots to get up and shits not to give, but if the subject of that powerpoint was in understanding one's place in the social and educational hierarchy then I'd award him all the credits regardless. After all, Nick Ward clearly has nothing left to learn on the topic.
