OT: Former Baylor C Isaiah Austin's career over

[Kitaman]

This is a chance for a college to step up and do the right thing for a student who helped the school by playing a varsity-level sport - hopefully the school will and this young man can have a full and complete life with a college degree to help him along.

Or give him a job so he can obtain some good health insurance. Ain't like Baylor didn't profit from his scholarship.

Cant cry for this kid. Sounds like he's smart enough to realize he cant risk it, and there's no question he cant, he's got a great support system around him to help him cope and move forward, a place to feed his mind and get a degree, and faith in myself and for the future. Tough break for his hoops career, but otherwise the sky's the limit for this kid. I love my life and I never got to play in the NBA, motorboat Alba's A_cheeks, or have a unicorn farm.

Was this disorder the cause of former Husky Jeff King's death?

Yes. He is lucky they found it.

Awesome news. Can't help but pull for this kid and his great attitude. I'd hire him.

Silver inviting him on stage was one of the coolest/most bittersweet moments you'll ever see. Best luck to this young man.

Yeah, Boatshow. Silver has really shown a great touch this year. Like how he handled Nelson too. Decisive, showing concern for his players (and almost player)

I normally don't bother w/ the draft unless UConn is in first round.
Since Bazz was waiting for his name to be called, I watched this.

Very classy move for the NBA and Silver to do that.
