hmmm. Teacher is concerned that worship of NBA is keeping students from making realistic goals ...
Sounds like a reasonable position.

I KNOW you didn’t read the article before you posted!
“And I love you. You would be my favorite player except for I have a soft spot for emotionally unstable crazies, and so I really love me some Draymond Green. But you are amazing and I also give you credit for being an amazing person off the court as well.”
We need more teachers like that.
Wish I, too, had been born with silver balls.
I think Curry needs to take great head of this obvious intellectual. He needs to renounce the NBA and immediately go live on a commune after donating all his money to Obamacare.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cavs!
At any given time, there are AT MOST 360 NBA Basketball Players in the entire universe.
The probability of any particular high school student becoming on is only infinitesimally different from ZERO. The statistics for NFL Football and Major League Baseball are similar.
The teacher has a valid point: Have a serious plan, because YOU WILL NOT BECOME AN NBA PLAYER.
when I was in high school I wanted to be a football player.
but one day we had a celebrity sports event at our school and I saw how HUGE those guys were I realized I better learn math instead.
It is a good thing to have sports guys come and let the kids get a true perspective.
Yep—lots of NBA players come from extremely poor, fatherless backgrounds in tough neighborhoods.
Professional sports has long provided an opportunity that way, and yes, being a pro’s son or a coach’s son has also long provided an edge, too.
Sounds like this teacher will only be happy when everyone comes from an equally challenging background.
This guy is spot on. My son likes to tell me he’s going to play football at Notre Dame and then be in the NFL. He’s 10 years old. I feel it’s my job as a father to discourage outrageous goals. I tell him he may in fact be an excellent football player but will most likely be about 5 foot 10 and weigh 185 pounds. He can have a fun Div III football experience like I had. I then became a pilot in the military. Solid goal for a smart 5 foot 10 white dude.
I tell him I fully expect him to be accepted to Notre Dame academically. Solid goal. His mother finished high school in 3 years, got a perfect score on her SAT (which was a big deal in 1987) and proceeded to graduate Magna from Johns Hopkins. So far he seems to have inherited her brains.
I was a great athlete in my small High School pond. Excelled at football, wrestling, and rugby. But 5 foot 10 white dudes don’t go pro. For every miracle Wes Welker type that makes it, a 1,000 others get a real taste of reality.
This teacher is doing his kids a service. Hopefully he inspires them to pursue realistic , attainable goals. We need more solid productive citizens. Especially black young men.
If the teacher didn’t grow up with the
same deprivations as his students then
he should probably STFU too. Curry worked
hard to get where he is regardless of how
wealthy his family might have have been.
I guess this teacher would also not have
allowed JFK or RFK or any number of successful
people from successful families around his
kids, either. GOOOOOOO.....Dubs!
Rotten to the core. Such a sad and sick way to be.
Coveting...it is one of the ten commandments that is forbidden. This is why. It ruins the minds and characters of the people who take it on as a world and individual view.
