Poderia o melhor time universitário bater o pior da NBA ?
Opinião de Charley Rosen, a qual eu compartilho.I continue to be amazed at the myopia of basketball fans who insist that the worst NBA team — currently the T-Wolves — would be beaten by the best college squad.
This claim is perhaps fostered by the periodical success of various NBA players who were either drafted out of high school or after one season as an undergrad.
Even so, nothing could be more absurd.
NBA benches are littered with recent ex-All-Americans like J.J. Redick, a former college Player of the Year, Luke Jackson, Leon Powe, Lawrence Roberts, Wayne Simien, Salim Stoudamire, Sheldon Williams, Taurean Green, Alando Tucker and Brendan Wright.
There are also veterans of NCAA championships like Hilton Armstrong, who can barely find any daylight with the Hornets, as well as Corey Brewer and Chris Richards.
The list of recent All-Americans and NCAA champs who couldn't make the cut are numerous, including Dee Brown, Julius Hodge, Dijon Thompson, Dajuan Wagner, Nick Fazekas, Reyshawn Terry, Denham Brown, David Noel and Andre Emmett.
Even the most unsuccessful NBA teams are loaded with mature, wily veterans who would overwhelm the college kids in every aspect of the game. Even the worst NBA teams are deeper, bigger, stronger, more skilled, better coached (by a huge margin!), more poised, and have many more offensive and defensive options at their command.
If the T-Wolves were to play, say, the University of Memphis in a game bound by collegiate rules, the pros would win by at least 20 points. In an NBA-style contest, the T-Wolves would triumph by 30-plus points.
The Wolves would likewise trounce an all-NBA rookie squad that might include Kevin Durant, Arron Afflalo, Aaron Brooks, Mike Conley, Daequan Cook, Javaris Crittenton, Glen Davis, Jared Dudley, Aaron Gray, Jeff Green, Spencer Hawes, Al Horford, Acie Law, Joakim Noah, Gabe Pruitt, Jason Smith, Rodney Stuckey, Al Thornton, Nick Young, Marcus Williams and Thaddeus Young. Take your pick.
The T-Wolves would win here by at least 10

Eu saio correndo do pivete
Tentando alcançar o elevador
Minha janela não passa
De um quadrado
A gente só vê cimento armado
Aonde antes se via o Redentor
É, meu amigo, só resta uma certeza
É preciso acabar com a natureza
É melhor lotear o nosso amor
Eu saio correndo do pivete

É preciso acabar com a natureza
É melhor lotear o nosso amor
