MU. I can't wait to watch him and the team play next year. But I'd be lying if the whole using your kid to get yourself a job thing doesn't make me uncomfortable, because it does. And make no mistake about it, that's exactly what he's doing. I don't care how many articles there are talking about what a great family they are, the dad is using the kids to get a job AND to get paid way above average for that job. MPJ is going to get paid well in the NBA, that's for sure. But in the mean time, Sr is making money, good money, off Jr's talent. There's no getting around that. BUT, college basketball is a business. A dirty business. And it's not the only business like that either. Pretty much any entertainment business is like that. Probably best to face that reality than live in denial.
