[QUOTE="NotThatPierre, post: 1522925, member: 746673"] He can always go back to college, but the idea that "a few years" in the NBA would be more than most make in their entire lives is wrong. Especially when you consider the high tax rate on large salaries. Luther Head made $7 million in his career as a late first rounder. After taxes and his agent, he walked away with perhaps $3 million. That's a number that is a challenge to match but is clearly matched and exceeded by lots of people in their lifetimes. If Whitney has a Luther type of career and is wise, he won't need the degree. But when you start getting to the guys steps below Luther it's definitely iffy. [/QUOTE]
