Thon Maker fabricated his age, he's really 21-23 instead of 19

Teams are shady about this stuff. I remember when the Yankees signed Andy Morales from Cuba and he was suddenly 4 years younger than anything had ever listed him at. He was a bust and the Yankees tried to void his contract based on the fake age. I can't believe the Yankees didn't know, they just wanted an out if things didn't go well.

But on second thought,it's been speculated for years that Thon was older than his listed age,and on top of that the NBA is a billion dollar company and the Bucks is one of the teams in that company,these cats knew Maker was 23 they just didn't care

Surprised it took this long for basketball to have people faking their age. It is rife in youth football/soccer. Most Africans who reached the West are usually lying by their age by 5 years on average. Look at the quick questionable decline of Freddy Adu.

If you can't prove it ,FOH :camby:

For his sake I hope he grow some balls and separate from his handler the second he sign that contract :mjlol:


I'd pull a Yasiel Puig in a heartbeat :russ:
