I know most of yall nikkas live life linearly as fukk but not everything rolls through college as far as progression. Especially not education. you can get education WHENEVER. this family is gonna have bank for decades. If you love basketball, why not play basketball and get the education second :dahell: the part about college directly correlating to growing/maturity is absolutely laughable as well, especially if hes already coming in with bank :heh: I guess getting dozens of UCLA bytches weekly and partying every day is gonna help him grow more so than being isolated in Europe :snoop:

First, y'all overrating how they are "paid" for life. They aren't. Their parents have SOME money and you can't live off YouTube money for life.

Second the MAJORITY of people that make it to the NBA don't make enough money for life. Sports is a very small part of a persons life and if they never got a chance to learn, grow and mature, then they definitely wont have the discipline to turn the nba money into life long or even generational money.

And lastly. Yes fukking bytches at UCLA would go a much longer way in maturing a young man than sitting on a basketball bench in a foreign country isolated from anybody who gives a shyt about you. Cause then if/when they come back and get an NBA contract they definitely gone go fukking wild.

how the fukk is it stan logic? Brandon Jennings and Mudiay went overseas, barely played, and were STILL drafted in the lottery. players get drafted every year in the lottery from overseas. you dudes arent making sense and sound closed-minded
Breh that doesn't mean it's the smartest option. He made it harder for his sons to succeed. You ignoring that and using players in complete different circumstances to justify thus move is the definition of stan logic

The Road Not Taken
BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Marbury spent a whole summer eating vaseline and drugs and got a deal. same with Ron Artest and he was washed. the best of the best might not, but SOME team will budge
Marbury was a 21/8 player in the NBA for many years. Artest was an 18-20 PPG scorer in the NBA and the best defender in the league. What correlation are you trying to make?

Some of you bums act like it's easy to just go to Europe, dominate and then go and succeed in the NBA :mjlol:


Go ask Jeremy Tyler how that worked for him.. and by the way, he was 10 TIMES the prospect Melo is and a million times the prospect Gelo is

Honestly i think Japan is their best chance. Young league trying to gain momentum and most of the international guys are big men so the guard play is weak.

Even the Adriatic league or somewhere like Ukraine is probably too much for them to handle at this point. I'll be surprised if they end up in europe

I think it'll be somewhere in Asia...definitely not China.

I'm skeptical about Japan though. Jeremy Tyler was a much bigger prospect than he was and he couldn't play well over there. And there weren't any ex-NBA guys beyond Mahmoud Abdul Rauf playing in Japan back then. Maybe Korea? The Philippines? Zero defense in Korea or the Philippines. The refs take bribes in the Filipino league though, LaVar might get into some beef over there. LaMelo would probably be the top tier in terms of athleticism in both of those leagues. I think LaMelo would probably play well in Korea.

If he couldnt play at UCLA, then for what fukkin reason would he stay there :gucci: I guess riding the bench and waiting months or years, and maybe never getting PT, is better than working in the Euro league :patrice: You stupid fukk

NCAA isnt the only option to make it in the L

You sound dumb as fukk but I don’t expect much from a grown ass nikka that’s a brainless stan of another man

in a world where you can get paid to do it while playing with pros and developing. Melo will be able to sale his own merch and profit off it as well.

-Going to a local University
-Having time to learn and develop
-having nearby access to Lonzos/Lakers trainers and condition coaches
-learning something outside of basketball to fall back on in a major that will help your money make money

Or play right away for an organization in whatever country that’s in a business to win games

Hella shortsighted...let these kids grow up somewhat normally since they aren’t in a position where they need to get money and be successful right away

He gotta be mature to survive out there in Europe primarily on his own, does he not? He doesnt have to be mature to be in UCLA in the same city as his fam and the fukkery of LA, no? If his family the problem, then one path leads away from them the other doesnt
