Kevin Love, Eric Gordon, : good riddance.
The NCAA exile has already begun and I can't wait until the list is complete. You guys might as well take OJ Mayo and Derrick Rose with you, because it's coming and I don't want them anymore. If you are a freshman and going to the NBA, then you and that league full of jackasses deserve each other. If you are 19 and your family is not living in poverty, then keep your butt in school.
If you are a junior and you feel it's your best time to go, then more power to you. Some of you will get your degrees in three years, others have enough discipline to still get that degree (Stanford's Lopez twins) and very few of you will be big-headed jerks that think you are above the sport.
Kids who think they are too good for college basketball ruin the purity of the most pure level of the sport that still exists. And as a big-time college basketball fan, I say that the NCAA is better off without you. So, goodbye.
(This will be the one and only time that I admire Tyler Hansbrough. He could have gone to the league as a lottery pick at any point, but chose to try and lead his school to a national title.)
Oh and good luck five years into your NBA career when your knee gives out and you have nothing to fall back on. Or, when the league passes you by and you are forced to work at a hardware store to try to make ends meet and fail to pay child support for your 10 kids by 8 moms (yes, a Jason Caffey shoutout).
