Although I think he will be a better pro than collegian, (this man will kill in the dunk contest next year) he is coming out a year too late. He didn't have the most productive season, and will be lucky to be a lottery pick.
There was a lot of pimping this message board on that comment section. Someone copied and pasted the words right from the top of the homepage in one comment.
Maybe I am in the lonesome on this one, but I will be cold in the ground before I will EVER wear a Pittspuke jersey. I don't care if he is a white cornerback with 15 ints, or a white running back with 1500 yds and 20 tds, me wearing a rival teams jersey will never happen.
Asians are still less than 5% of MLB, not even close to an invasion. This being said, I love the Asian players. They are disciplined, and don't go out and shoot up strip clubs. I will be watching when Dice-K pitches his first game.
Haluska won't be given a chance in hell as a pro. McRoberts will be the best pro out of this group, but the most dominate in college ball is Psycho T. Noone takes over a game like Hansbrough. Surprised Nick Fazekas and Drew Neitzel aren't on this list. Maybe Greg Paulus as well.
Shaq is a part time player anymore, he usually doesn't even start until right before the all star break. He is still a force in the middle, but nothing like he was in the 90s, and he is a huge liability at the charity stripe. If D-Wade is out for the year Miami might not even make the playoffs...
A lot of people wear jerseys just because of the color of the jersey itself, or the style/team it was on. Or they just follow like lemmings to whatever throwback was in the latest music video. I would say its only the hardcore 20% of fans who could really tell you every player on every jersey...
Your guys discussion of The Rock reminded me of the Family Guy where they talked about his race as well:

Hilarious!
I seriously doubt Rice or Murphy is elected. I would like to see guys like Don Mattingly and Bert Byleven elected, but the baseball HOF is by far the hardest to get into.
