PROTECT THE PAINT

Somewhere in an office in New York you will find David Stern pacing around, contemplating what to do about this kid Brandon Jennings.

Jennings has already made a mockery of the NBA age statute, showed up late to the NBA draft and walked on stage in unprecedented fashion. He then dispelled the hype surrounding Ricky Rubio, calling him overrated.

Funny thing is, we are all paying attention to these things now that he is a borderline NBA star.

The kicker? Brandon Jennings tearing the league up leading the Milwaukee Bucks into prominent mainstream media for the first time in a long time.

Latavious Williams was one of the first players following in Jennings’ footsteps, deciding to play professionally in China rather than attending college. Jeremy Tyler then made his headlines by skipping of his senior year of high school.

Brandon Jennings circumventing NBA protocol and by receiving this much attention from his unbelievable start to his NBA career will surely blaze a trail for America’s youth to follow.

With the NBA on the verge of raising its age restrictions again, the Jennings phenomenon will likely become a viable option to high school players with NBA talent. Why go to college when you can get paid to play in a cultural Mecca like Europe?

Jennings came back more mature after 1 year of immersing himself in Italy. I heard the Italian food is pretty good over there as well.

Jennings has a shoe deal with Under Armor. He has exploded onto the scene. All the critics and the doubters who questioned his meager statistics while playing in Italy are backpedaling, and hopping on the bandwagon.

What does all this mean?

It means that Brandon Jennings is the one man wrecking ball of anti NBA rules and establishment. He does not play by the rules, and if he keeps playing like he is, he will keep striking fear into the heart of David Stern. He is proving he is too good for anyone to second guess his moves.
