the NBA. It's clear, from the what NCAA claims, that their game is not a breeding ground (minor league) for the NBA. The rules are the rules. And those rules don't say that a kid has to go to college to play in the NBA. They just have to be one year removed from HS graduation to do so.

Overseas? The Globetrotters? The YMCA near your house? LA Fitness?

So, yeah. Boogie sounded dumb. Being overseas may not be what some believe it is. Nothing is when you're working your way from the ground up. Shit wasn't sweet in your chosen career either when you were first starting. You earn your way to the top. You think the long rides on the bus is sweet for minor league baseball players? Nope.
