I stumbled across this on NBA.com. For those who are interested in the NBA off the court it is great.

Also if you ever wondered how the Hornets have gotten so good so fast this should answer a lot of those questions. It sounds like these guys are all best buds off the court.

Thanks for posting that... it was really interesting.

I also like reading stuff like this, much better than standard beat writer nonsense.

I enjoy reading blogs like this one, although I have to admint I don't so it on a regular basis. Usually, brings me closer to the guys once you realize how reasonable, sentinent and educated persons they are.

Just as much as the arguement \"they went to college, after all\" proves anything judging the intellect of a person so tremendously athletically gifted like an NBA draftee, it is also more than a totally wrong prejudice to assume that every NBA player was more ore less of a mentally retarded underclass kid which cruised along thanks to his talent while being enlisted in phoney classes like arts or social science.

So articles and blogs like this one by the (ever) highly sympathic Chandler would make good arguements in proving to all the haters that the NBA isn't a league of uneducated thugs, although I fear those proclaiming such idiotic statements and surprisingly as well as selfcontradictingly pointing to the NFL or the MLB as \"clean leagues\", aren't open to reasonable argumentation anyways (as emphasized by the term \"hater\").
