Man, that was a weird article, lol.
On a somewhat related note, I know a guy who buys and sells clothing on Ebay who found some original Jordans at a Goodwill for like $5.
Yeah it was weird. It is also from 2016. But it's crazy how common it is for such an expensive product made by 7 year olds. I guess it makes sense that it happens that common based on the fact that they are made by 7 year olds. But not based on the price.
Skeptical hippo on buying shoes from goodwill.
I mean, I can't even with this. They seem to be a little closer at Cameron but it was really just a joke. The players seem to think they are closer. Cam was probably upset that lady didn't know what the heck she was doing and wouldn't get out of the way.

Well, I wouldn't buy shoes at Goodwill. He did and as soon as he posted the picture had a bunch of sneaker heads offer him a crapload of money for them. He mainly buys shirts and sells them though. He was an ex student so he listened well when we discussed economics, haha.
I didn't consider the resale value until after I posted that.
Nike shoes don't last and they can get the price they do on name alone because of the players success. but you are lucky if you can find ones that will last more than 6 months.
give me a pair of 20 dollar sneakers every time.

You get what you pay for. .....is no longer a saying.
I have to wear dress shoes for my job, and I've noticed nicer shoes do tend to last longer. However, walking on asphalt all day every day, my shoes don't tend to last long.
I wear Nike shoes and nothing else. Even in my slacks and collard shirts, wearing my Nikes. My Nike shoes last ATLEAST a year. Rarely do I buy a new pair of shoes out of “need”. I get tired of wearing them and want something new or happen to find a pair I really like on sale and buy them up.
Never owned a pair of Jordan’s or Lebrons, Kds or Kyries. I spend $70-90 on a pair of Nike shoes.
Ummm, Romeo is the only non 4 year kid we have. So exactly how would ANOTHER 4 year kid have helped us more, than Langford?
We need to rehire Billy G and you will not have to worry about the one and done. Some people are never satisfied.
You mean like Rob Phinisee, Jerome Hunter, Anderson, Race Thompson, Justin Smith, Jake Forrester, Al Durham, etc, etc, etc...Or the two guys coming in next year----TJD and Franklin?
Miller is recruiting just fine. Mixing in some 5* dudes, with plenty of 4*, four year type of dudes.
Had IU signed some 4*, four year dude instead of getting Romeo, this team would be worse than what it is. And signing Romeo didn't hurt the programs progress. Thats just stupid.
A new coach basically doing a rebuild at Indiana just wasted a year and Langford will be gone. IMO he just wasted a year.
Go out of high school or play in college for at least three years. Best solution for the NBA and college basketball IMO
Won't happen. More likely from high school to NBA or stay 2 years in college.
Probably more than one year. With the current record and player issues it is affecting recruiting and that will probably cost them another year or two.
I enjoy elite talent in college but I think kids should have the preference to go straight to the NBA out of high school. I don't think there will be more than 5 to 10 that will go straight to the NBA each year and those that go to college should have to stay at least two years. In the long run college basketball would be better.
Yes. That is the point I am trying to make. Thanks for summing it up better than I could explain it.
It puts kids and the schools they go to in tough spots. I love watching elite talent play, but Duke is now in a tough spot because they don't know if their star forward, who shouldn't even be there in the first place, doesn't know if he wants to finish playing.
If you're ready for the NBA after high school, you should not have to play college basketball. Can you imagine being ready to do your job out of high school but because of the rules, you had to go to college for a year? Its not fair to your average working American and its not fair to elite high school players.
I understand your point,but I don't agree addition by subtraction. Don't we want to watch the sport at it's peak?
Great players are still going to go to college. College basketball will have more developed and better teams because of this. Guys will be at schools longer.
Yes we might not have Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid or Zion but you will still get Trae Young, Tyus Jones, Devon Dotson etc etc.
Only a handful of players will skip college.
Kansas, Duke, UNC and UK will all still be ultra talented but will have more experienced teams.
I hate the one and done.

and how much do you pay for those Nike shoes. my shoes used to last 2 years minimum. hmmm 10 dollars per year,
I don't want to confuse rights. If a guy has the talent to go pro, I' m all for it.
Watching the sport at it's peak will be watching high level talent stay two years in college instead of one year.
I'm with you 100 percent. People don't realize at the most 4 or 5 guys are not playing college basketball per year. Big dogs will still eat, and we'd have our great players for longer than one year.
you mean a handful of players = at its peak?
not in this lifetime or any lifetime. only in your made up world. Duke had multiple 5* players and they still LOST.
This. It's like the far right side of a bell curve. But this is a good change for the NBA, players, and possibly the NCAA, and it's the right thing to do.
