What else to say... oh, whoever's ruining basketball, I really don't think it's Kevin Garnett or Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. The wannabes, who think they're as good as those three but really aren't, might be ruining the game, but their going into the league too early is just a symptom of the whole gotta-have-instant-gratification character flaw that turns out to be what really ruins them.
IMHO It's not that sticking things out through college gives you good character but that already having good character makes you wise enough to stick things out through college.
