Well said Chuck... “I want these kids to stay in school longer because the NBA is as worse as it’s ever been,” Barkley said on CBS. “It’s not good basketball. It’s frustrating for me to watch. These kids aren’t physically or emotionally ready to come and play against grown men. “You look at the last two days. We’ve had on paper Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins, they’re supposed to be 1-2, 3 at the latest, they didn’t have very good games. And it’s just one game but if they’re going to struggle against Mercer and Stanford, they’re really going to struggle against grown men. “You look at the greatest players who ever played basketball, it didn’t hurt Magic Johnson to stay two years, it didn’t hurt Michael Jordan to stay three years. And people’s analogy is what about Kobe and what about LeBron? Those guys are exceptions. Those are two of the 10 greatest players ever. So let’s don’t base all our arguments on those guys. Kevin Garnett is also in that group. “I just wish these guys would stay in school. I think there’s a big difference between staying in school for 30 games or staying in college for two years, which I would like for these guys to stay at least two years.”
