The article in the Business Report makes it sound like he's bitter toward LSU, but it's really the NCAA and system in general. He didn't have to go to school, could have played professionally overseas for a year, but he chose a year of college so that he could get more exposure. A guy with that talent doesn't belong in college, and I do think the system ought to be changed so that the one and dones aren't in college either.

Ben could have went straight from Australia to the NBA. When he and his family decided to come to the US and have him attend Monteverde, he had to go to college for a year.

The Showtime special was enough for me because he wA complaining about doing media shoots, BUT HAD a camera crew documenting his entire experience. He got what he wanted and he is in the NBA. He just comes off as immature by continuing to harp on this.
