Dickie V was on "Mike & Mike in the Morning" today, for his weekly a$$ clown appearance on the show (which thankfully has eliminated his ridiculous "Stock Up/Stock Down" segment), and was asked about the alleged problems the NBA "one year of college minimum" rule before H.S. players can enter the draft.
Dickie V's solution:
Form a "commission" of "experts" to let "4-5 players a year" go directly for H.S. to the pros...
What?!? A "commission of experts"?!? Are we going to form a commission to decide who's on the "commission of experts"? And I guess instead of letting the Draft determine who is good enough to get drafted, we are going to let a "commission of experts" tell the teams who they have to play for who is good enough. Who is going to be on the "commission of experts"? What if Tom Izzo is on there, and one of the kids in question is one of his recruits, isn't that a conflict of interest problem? So no college coaches, and I guess no NBA GMs either for similar reasons, so there should be tons of "experts" on this commission. So who is going to be on the commission, Dickie V, one of the most unsuccessful coaches ever?
And what about the 5th kid or the 6th kid? He doesn't get to get drafted, even though some team may want to pay him millions of dollars, because he doesn't make Dickie V's "Fab 5"?!? Couldn't that lead to some serious litigation if the kids left out wanted to say, I don't know, the NBA is making completely arbitrary rules that affect their ability to earn a living? Maybe the guy who owns his own zip code in Florida shouldn't be telling other people how to earn their dough; especially the kids who "pay" for his lifestyle...
This is one of those "solutions" these talking heads give, that they think makes them sound really smart, until you actually try and figure out how it would work, and it makes no sense.
Dickie V then took a funny, softball question about if he likes Brittney Spears' bald 'do, and proceeded to beat everyone over the heads with his soapbox, and subject sportsfans driving to work to a 60 second lecture about how Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Brittney are ruining the world. Somebody give this chump the Shocker!
