Hey, F*** You David Stern

This could turn out to be a landmark moment in the one year breeding ground that is college basketball. Brandon Jennings, the number one ranked point guard prospect in the nation has decided to pass college ball entirely and head to Europe for one season before entering the NBA Draft (and also brought the flat top fade back--so the kid can't be all that bad). The headline says it all. Jennings is encouraging NBA Commish David Stern to forcibly insert his age limits into his anus.
Now, Jennings (who originally signed with Arizona) is yet to sign with an agent who will help him get set up with a contract in Europe (How would the bidding go? Do European leagues have drafts? Is it like when the Yankees signed Jose Contrares). Jennings and his family are going to consult with Sonny Vaccaro (how could this possibly go wrong?) before hiring an agent.
The fade. Word. Seriously, word to Kid.
*UPDATE*: ESPN's Jemele Hill (who can be over the top at times) has an article that's a pretty good read regarding Jennings' decision. If you have a chance, it can be found here.
