This entire thing about kids staying away from the NBA for 1 year is a joke.  This is much deeper then that.  We may never see another LeBron or Kobe........BUT, at the same time we did see a Carmelo for 1 year. We saw a Rose for 1 year who is so stupid that if not for basketball would be digging ditches or selling dope.  It's a "Black" rule for Stern to try clean up all the problems he gets with it; and I quote, "The young black pro."  Who was the last White guy who skipped college to go to the NBA?  Stern wants his NBA company to sell the best product, but at the same time he keeps the best athlete out until he makes sure they fit into his set of rules that will make him look good.  Hey David, if a kid wants to come to the NBA,  Let Him.  It's so simple.... like Black and White!!  Stern is a JACKASS!!
