it’s time we reckon with the fact that these players who never have to spend any energy on an education from middle school on need to be managed differently than players in years past.

think about it
how equipped would you be to manage your affairs if after 6th grade nobody cared or asked about your scholastic efforts? If you were not expected in any way to learn anything other than what you can do with your hands and legs?

we point and laugh at the pseudo intellectualism of a player like LeBron or Davis and we forget that they basically have the mind of a child. none of this surprises me and smart teams are going to have to become parents and teachers to these players
