He's not lying for most professions. Since I started working I can't remember one thing I learned in school that helped me in the workforce

I'm @Actually6Foot3 your think I got a shotSchool in this case doesn’t have to be college necessarily. I’m just talking about finding ways to train and better yourself. LEARNING something. You can go to a trade school that won’t fukk up your pockets and actually grow.
….or you can sit in mom dukes basement thinking about how your somehow gonna hit the genetic lottery (after the fact) and dribble your way out. The odds are not in the average person’s favor. Get money.
But on the real this comment doesn't make any sense. This is about kids who have the option to go to college (meaning theyd have scholarship offers) or go pro(Europe, g league, etc) Has nothing to do with anyone dribbling a ball in their moms basement. Those types of nikkas would be happy to get a scholarship anywhere

“We not trippin' off school. We not dumb. We know how to learn. We don't need school. And school not even teachin' you shyt—what the fukk is school?”This article full of quotes. Had no idea this nikka was funny like this
As for Stranger Things: “The concept? The way that shyt look? Number Eleven? She goin' crazy! That shyt hard as fukk! Her lil' nose be bleedin'?” LaMelo begins to wipe his nostrils, emulating the rapper Young Thug. “Slime! Kill a n-gga!”
“Everybody always asks me what's my slogan—kids, old people, adults. Two words, breh: Be you. Because if you ain't you, you being somebody else and you already fukked up from the jump. So now whatever you trying to do, it ain't never you. Either you gonna be unhappy or something is fukked up,” he says, wistfully gazing out across the city. “Say you building something and you got all the instructions and you fukk up from the beginning? N-gga, you ain't never gonna build that shyt. Ever. You just gotta be you from the jump, and whatever supposed to happen gonna happen. But if you ain't you, you already lost.”

For the average person, school is a means to an end
For someone like LaMelo, school could just be an opportunity to learn about something he finds interesting.........or it could be used to allow him to learn shyt that will help him manage his potential NBA wealth.
We've seen athletes have professional success but use education to parley into other things (Alan Page, John Urschel, Myron Rolle, Joshua Dobbs, Nate Hughes etc.)......all brehs that got an education when our ancestors could be killed or maimed just for knowing how to read. Get what LMB is saying but he's gotta understand that to build a legacy, you need education. No guarantees his kids will be 6'7" ball players like him. Someone is going to have to manage that money, his legacy. If he doesn't value education, his kids won't either and all that work will be for nothing. Money will go right back to Stone, Stein, Schwartz and Sandberg.

Regardless of whether or not LaMelo "should" have gone to school, the entire quote is just ignorant. He's hardly even making a coherent argument - there are 5-6 sentences there but he's just rambling. Doesn't do a great job of demonstrating his point.
Whether college prepares you for some particular job is one thing, but unless you went to some scam for-profit school, if you went to college and were prepared enough and still didn't learn anything, that's on you. I can still remember shyt from every fukking university course I ever took. If you can't take advantage of the opportunities to learn in college with all that in front of you, you're probably not gonna spend the rest of your life taking opportunities to learn either.

Only take this advice if you have some god given talent
k-12 really doesn't teach you a lot tbh lol.
obviously you don't want to be walking around the world illiterate or with a 3rd grade education, but it's still definitely not a lot of useful skills to go out and be an adult if you just meet the minimum education requirements for graduation.
and when you have a sure thing that's going to make you a very comfortable living regardless of your F grade in 9th grade world history, then ahead of you, then yeah, there's probably little point to it other than the socialization.
and even that, i'm not sure what high school is going to teach you about socialization if your destiny is to be an all-star NBA player.
99.9% of people ain't going to the league tho, i'd recommend learning whatever you can for as cheap as possible if that's what you're into.
but our actual k-12 public school system is pretty trash.

undergrad college is scam 
He wasn’t talking about just “college athletes” either. He was talking about the top players who we know for certain are going professional. Who’s career is directly to the NBA. Not just student athletes. But people who we knew were the top prospects to go pro before college. He’s referring to people like himself. People like Jalen.
He said “kids” and not “kids like him”. It’s a distinction. You can make money now with the NIL and not exactly be a top prospect player.
Here’s the thug though, there’s only like 50 of those people on the planet every year, so it’s almost worthless to even argue about that. For the general population (which is who these stories are being disseminated to) they’re better off educating themselves as much as possible in order to put themselves in position to win. I really don’t think sports fans or the public in general understands or accepts how small of a pool professional athletes are.
I'm not defending LaMelo as some sort of philosopher and he definitely comes off as [Chris Rock]IGnant [Chris Rock]but I think you misunderstood that part he said about school.
He's saying all those things you learned in those courses you pretty much could've learned on your own from the textbooks. Teachers are only necessary for some skill sets/professions. It's the icing on the cake. Not the main source of learning. Schools are all about making money in our time.
LaMelo probably tryna repeat in his own words what he heard his pops or one of the grown men in his family say.
