SG Hamidou Diallo (UConn Offer)

[David 76]

In spite of all the jokes, I've found lots of lawyers doing pro bono work, being underpaid in jobs that serve humanity, or protecting our rights and our environment.

Heard 2017 Mohammed Bamba from a few places

Love this kid. An absolute monster and just oozes potential. Don't get my hopes up 99!

Sorry

You are single handedly making me believe that psychology is a bad thing. Please go away.

Thank you. The writing itself is poor, especially for someone feigning intelligence. Worse though is the potential seriousness, as the alternative to this string of posts being a joke is one person undermining the credibility of psychology worldwide.

I see he has a offer from Kentucky, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Well thanks for this astute and well-thought out opinion.

In the real world where the majority truly live, lawyers are an integral, indispensable and valuable asset to our free society, which could not function without a top-level judicial system. Most lawyers, without fanfare or public thanks, provide pro bono work for those in legal need.

A couple of examples of lawyers, out of the thousands available, who have provided and/or continue to provide value to our society might start with former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who led the legal fight against institutional segregation in US schools, Brown v. Board of Education , or the vastly underpaid and overworked lawyers of the ACLU, public defender's offices and state prosecutor's offices nationwide.

Perhaps in the Star Trek parallel universe in which you live lawyers do nothing of value to that society. Not in the USA in which the rest of us reside.

I don't know you, but as a fellow lawya I feel compelled to tell you that you aren't helping your case by arguing with this nitwit, counselor.

@AdamFinkelstein: Villanova is the latest to offer ESPN 60 guard Hamidou Diallo @NYJayhawks @PSAhoops

How dare any other program offer him a scholarship! Just stop and let us have him already!

 

[Yankees32123]

Gross.

Damn, what days are these when I have to check a 2017 recruiting thread for a good ol' fashioned lawyer fight? Sorry I missed this one--and of all weeks, Shark Week!

I suggest that we create a new "Lawyer Fight" tag to alert the rest of us when one has erupted within a thread.

Lol. UConn fans are the most insecure fans in existence.

It's the definition of click bait. Absolutely nothing new in the article.

 

[nomar]

Extremely rich coming from a lawyer. I've never met a (non-patent) lawyer who did anything of value for our society. I hope you are a patent attorney, but I fear you are a corporate leech.

Schmuck.

 

[AtlHusky]

Let's not jump to conclusions immediately.

But it's fun if you make a game out of it...

Agreed. Generalizations of this nature are dangerous and unfair. Why lump the 99% of greedy Shylocks in with the 1% of lawyers who contribute substantively to society? Just doesn't make sense.

Do people still think lawyer jokes are funny?

Totally. Bonus points for the anti-semitic angle.

Ummm yeah! Duh

Stacey Davis posted an article about Mama and Hami. Can anyone put it on here?

 

[businesslawyer]

They certainly can be.

 

[UConNick]

On my phone so can't quote the tweet and article (which I saw in Team Stream), but Nova just offered Diallo. Article still seems to mention us as the leader, saying Diarra is a major reason why.

Lawyer jokes are hilarious. You should try to pry that telephone pole out of your rear end.

Maybe it's just that I'm not 70. I don't know. I don't think I've ever heard anyone younger than that use the word "shylock" unless they were talking about the Merchant of Venice. Thanks for the input, though.
