I think greed is a major motivator. Pat is probably thinking to himself, what else could I do with my life? (well maybe not pat, but i'm sure Allen Iverson is hoping that he can fall back to a rap career)

> I would say that

>they love the game.

I think there are plenty of people who love the game, and lots of them couldn't do anything else. Sure you got a Bill Bradley, David Robinson, and some others. But I have a suspicion many of the NBA pros weren't up till 3 in the morning trying to finish their science fair project.

>who teach?

We do, for the very top people in their field. Suburban schools, private schools, college professors. It just happens that the well paid teachers don't work in minority schools.
