"players don't care nearly as much as us fans do" = Silly POTD

An extra year of “sitting on the bench in the NBA” is worth what?

I would really like to care less. I have taken some steps in that direction.

So you say college basketball is a trivial thing & players should care more?!

So you expect players to build their entire daily life to satisfy you? They care

It's better to check out in both sports. Times have changed.

I hope you're wrong about that.... but you're probably right. Certainly BYU's

Valid points. I would argue that age doesn't matter that much in going to Europe

This is probably a good summary - the players love basketball, we fans love
