I’m sure he got his college degrees the same way you and I have to. No way he doesn’t have someone else do the work for him.
Can we go back to the days when professional athletes and entertainers weren’t celebrated as role models but as what they are. Entertainers.

Him getting an MBA is impressive, considering his history. When straight from high school to the NBA, college was all on his dime.
Due to his mother's issues with the law, he attended three different high schools. Wasn't even eligible to play basketball as a freshman in high school.

Bad take.
Do your research on the dude. He had literally nothing growing up. Being a multi millionaire and going to college after your playing days, getting your masters, IS something worthy of praise.

No one gets to choose the family they are born into.
Him having a bad home life then getting into the NBA, being successful, then getting a master's after getting out is something I'd wager even you can't match if you paired up resumes. That's a terrible take.

Tell me when that was exactly. I'm 60 and this has been going on as long as I can remember.
Perhaps you're confusing people thinking athletes and entertainers have some special knowledge on whatever the topic of the day is. That is not the same as being a role model.
