Sizing up Nigel Hayes’s future in the NBA
If you’re a diehard college basketball stan who shuns the NBA, you’re not alone. Yet it’s worth rethinking your strict stance because the Association has more to offer than just pettiness, feuds, martyrs, Jeff Van Gundy, pettiness, and the unstoppable force that is NBA Twitter. The basketball is really good to watch, and if you consider it to be unruly, sloppy, or not as refined and fundamental as college, Big Ten, or, especially, Badger basketball, have you watched the Spurs play? Complain all you want—that’s your prerogative—but the NBA at least offers you the chance to keep watching your favorite college basketball players hoop it up at the next level while being financially compensated.
