I like Nike apparel. I do. But this is crazy. They are apparently trying to force Kevin Durant's hand this offseason, offering the probable #1 pick a $50 million endorsement deal. They have also said that if he doesn't come out this year, he will get less when he does finally decide to leave   more...

Kevin Durant is the best player in college basketball, but, I think he should stay at least one more year to continue to gain weight. If anything, his game is ready but his body is not. He's too skinny to hang in the NBA, but with some more weight he'll be a legit player. What do you think?

ENOUGH. Let all this talk about whether NBA GM's will pick Oden or Durant stop until they actually declare. It is not a foregone conclusion, despite all the "experts'" thoughts. Let these kids make their decisions without the expectations that they are already gone.
