Poor Sebastian Telfair.

Remember, SLAM? You wrote, “That being said, go pro, young bassy.”

This clever hip-hop creation misled many young fans and athletes in the 2000’s. We believe the legends that were created on paper. “Paper legends” like Telfair received glowing write-ups, written in a way that made it seem like these guys were already here. Wrong. 0 NBA games were in Telfair when you told him to go pro. He was undersized and undeveloped. Credit the NBA’s age rule for finally strengthening the game, because the SLAM era saw many failed HSers (Miles, Livingston) who were plain and simply not ready for the Pros. LeBron, Kobe, and KG are a rare breed.
