    It wasn't Kemp... J.R. Reid(no pun intended) had a second grade reading level when he came into the NBA.

    Remember big Moses Malone signed his first contract with an 'X' because he didn't know how to sign his name after completing high school.

    Ooooo, who was it??? Quientin Griffin right? I mean, it just had to be. Everytime I see that dude on campus I just shake my head...:)

    Looks like a lot of NBA players need to go to Tim Hardaway's treehouse to read Billy and the Robot. BUZZAMMO!!

    Shaq would go but that damn dog keeps stealing all his f*ck*ng books.
