Do Not Sell My Personal Information

The Knicks pick will be in 8+ range, they're like 3 games out of the 8th seed..

Yeah, but if they are in the lottery... you never know... remember the "frozen envelope" conspiracy with Ewing? I'm just saying...
 
Nope :chuckles:

Little before my time...do explain though..

1985 NBA Draft

1985 was the first year of the NBA Draft Lottery. Prior to 85, the team with the worst record in the NBA would get the first pick in the draft (ala the National Football League). Had this been the case in 1985, the future of the NBA would have been very different.

The Oakland-based Golden State Warriors finished with the worst record in the NBA during the 1984-85 season, and the highest probability of landing the first pick in the draft. That year, Georgetown center Patrick Ewing was the favorite to be the number one pick in the draft. The large-market New York Knicks finished with the third worst record in the league that season.

When the Knicks won the draft lottery, eventually drafting Ewing (who would become a legend on the team, leading New York to the NBA Finals in 1994 and to a lesser extent in 1999), many believed that it was because the league staged the result.[54]. The "Frozen Envelope Theory" is partly based on how the lottery is conducted: the teams are selected behind closed doors. Those buying into the theory allege that the envelope with the New York Knicks' logo on it was frozen so that it would be easier to draw when it came time to select the team that had the first pick in the draft. [55] While the NBA denies this ever happened, it is still occasionally referred to (for instance, the 2002 and 2003 drafts, featuring Yao Ming and LeBron James respectively, both occurred in years where the New York Knicks missed the playoffs. In both years, several observers believed that the Knicks would win the first pick.)
 
^^^That's pretty dumb imo. They got lucky, big deal.
 
I remember people freaking out when we got LeBron "Oh it was fixed.." Yeah I know the whole local thing but really..why would the NBA pick LeBron for Cleveland? Maybe he feels bad about what MJ did?

You can get a degree whenever you want, he isnt learning shit at OSU right now, he is taking History Of Rock & Roll, this guy isnt learning anything right now, and thats how the system is set up pretty much everywhere. Shaq went back to school and got his.

All underclassman athletes take easy classes during their seasons. Everywhere. Oden's registered courseload is that of a typical freshman this quarter.
 
Why would you take the harder courses inseason? What would that accomplish other than taking focus off of both things.
 
Well, you seem to have answered your own questions, you act like "He needs to stay and get an education" there are very few college players (football or basketball) who are prospects on the next level (NBA/NFL) that take any kind of serious classes, so saying he is staying because getting a degree is a priority of his is just flat out stupid. Like i said, he can come back in 20 years when his NBA years are well over, or hell he can work on it over the off-season and get in fragments. But Oden isnt going to come back for the purpose of getting a degree. Its a waste of his time, because his time is now becoming money, money in the tens of millions.
 
Oh, and id stay away from my mailbox tomorrow if you get SI...

It's pretty hard to make an argument that getting a degree is a good reason for Oden to come back. There are some arguments you can make, wanting a title, wanting to continue playing with his teammates and coach, and what not, but that's about it.
