@keithdow
His job is to play basketball, so it wouldn’t change my opinion. Lord knows how many other NBA players have done the same.
@Perno
No, he still chokes at free throws in pressure situations, regardless of his SATs.
@kevincastillo
I’d still be a fan, but it would. Mostly because he’s portrayed as such an upstanding, good-head-on-his-shoulders, humble guy.
@Zephian
If basketball A, travels at speed X toward hoop Y, with a velocity of Z, who cares?! He plays great ball.
@Pletty
Nope, nobody’s asking him to deliver their baby, he puts a ball in a hoop, it’s a game, that is all …
@danticoa
SATs. Seriously? At this stage of the game? Nobody past the age of 18 cares what your SAT scores were. Move on.
@MOgulnick
No. We all make mistakes. I dislike the SAT/ACT anyway. They’re no judge of a person’s true abilities. I stick by Rose.
