Argument Hour: Kenny George

Let me start this one like this. Sometimes it's better to realize things before you head to far in the wrong direction. If you were going to go into some deep dark scary woods, wouldn't you want somebody to tell you whether it's dangerous or not?

I hate to shatter dreams, but it's been a while since I've done a post like this, or a post other than the whole This Book Will Change Your Life spiel. (Spiel is game in German...howla for bringing back high school) But to continue on.

Kenny George. You are on a dark and scary path, that does not lead you to the NBA. You may be 7'8" and huge like a mother, but that doesn't mean anything.

I've compiled a list, on why you should, focus on your studies.

1. Mobility. Where's your footwork? In the video, all I really saw was you shuffling left and right. Big men need more mobility. In the NBA you'll get torn up by the likes of Dwight Howard or any number of very agile big men.
2. Shot. You can't shoot, you were right there, standing a good foot and a half above your defender, and you couldn't lay it in. It's not always going to be that easy. In the NBA you got people that can hop over people, and you think people won't be able to jump as high as you are tall?
3. Speed. It takes you twice as long to get down the court as the rest of your teammates. Maybe if you were playing Yao Ming, that slow bastard, you could stand a chance. But what about the rest of the league? You'll be good for one game. Haha.
4. Passion. You don't look like you want it. It looks like you are stuck on the ball thinking, "Get the ball, get the ball, get the ball."

I admit you have potential, but I think above all you got to love the game you are playing, and it just doesn't seem like you want it that bad. You need to work hard to become faster and improve your shot. And stop holding your hands in the air like that's the only thing you can do with them.
