^ It's not like one year is going to make all the difference in the world. Sure it helps, but I'd rather just see the guys that want to go straight to the league do that and have the rest committed to college for a few years to make it more interesting. Sure, for every Kobe or LeBron there's gonna be a Kwame Brown or Darius Miles but if an 18 year old kid wants to go play in the NBA then fuck, just let them go.

Darius Miles was an all-star caliber player before injuries derailed his career

Shame, cause dude was always fun to watch when he was on his game.
The games are just better NBA players stop caring. So much more urgency game in and game out. Producing better basketball.
If the Lakers were currently the 4th or 5th seed they would of lost both of those games. Only urgency because there's urgency. Meanwhile the Spurs could roll over the Thunder tonight because Durant and Westbrook just don't care until April. Where rivalries and desire to win, desire to hold wins on the home, the desire to not get upset by inferior teams, and the intensity and how it's not dominated by four teams makes it so much more exciting for fans.
Says the Laker fan whose watched Kobe for 17 years and for the most part win. College basketball games of actual basketball being played is better. The only thing the NBA has on them is that they have marketing teams out there selling you all-stars who get favoritism and its fun to watch those players. I guess college is one of those things where if you can let go of all-stars running circles around Ronnie Turiaf and putting on a show, you'd get into college.

NBA IS BETTER BECAUSE THE TALENT LEVEL IS MUCH HIGHER, AND TEAMS ARE ACTUALLY TEAMS, NOT JUST PROGRAMS WITH BRAND NEW ROSTERS EVERY YEAR.MAYBE I AM SPOILED AS A LAKER FAN, BUT ILL TELL U 1 THING, RONNY TURIAF WOULD CURRENTLY BE A STAR IN COLLEGE.I STILL ENJOY COLLEGE, THO...ESPECIALLY MARCH MADNESS
