LoVett

[fun]

A year or so ago I posted a dated article about Providence College’s former star God Shamgod who left Providence with visions of NBA fame only to live a lonely vagabond life playing “professional” basketball in China. I do not wish Marco Lovett bad luck but I sincerely doubt he will enjoy fame and fortune in the NBA. I believe that Marcus’ future, as an undersized guard may resemble God Shamgod’s experience.

"Professional" basketball players in China earn up to three million "dollars" a year tax free. That's sounds like a pretty good salary for a 22 year old. Of course there is the lonely vagabond life of the professional athlete to consider, travelling first class from hotel to hotel and strange trim to even stranger trim. I don't understand how you don't understand how that might sound intriguing to a young man barely out of his teens. As opposed to living in a dormitory in scenic Jamaica.

Americans working in China are still subject to taxes by Uncle Sam unless they are no longer residents of the U.S. Not as simple as working I. China for a year or two, collecting a tax free salary a d heading back to the US without any tax obligation.

Also, LoVett would not make anything close to $2 million in China to start.

What's the minimum salary 22 year old Boo Harvey would have accepted to play basketball in China?

This reminds me of Lou's last season in 1992, when prior to the NCAAs, most of the team shaved their heads in a sign of unity and brotherhood.

But Rob Werdann and Terrence Mullin did not, presumably because they were looking forward to growing out their summer mullets.

This of course lead to discord in the locker room especially from Jason Buchanan who had shaved off his beloved burgeoning fro. What happened next? A disappointing first round exit at the hands of Tulane and ultimately Lou's early retirement.

Something to keep in mind.

In fairness it is tough for white guys to pull of the shaved head look. Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kojak that's about it.

Had I made that comment I would have been accused of racism and put on double secret probation.
BTW, Vin Diesel is as white as Colin Kaepernick. Personally I think Bill Wennington looks great bald.
I would have added Sean Connery, Ben Kingsley, Yul Brynner, Howie Mandel and Larry David, to name few.
The problem with bald white guys is they can't jump!

I looked up Diesel's ethnicity before I posted. It is listed as "Diesel has stated that he is "of ambiguous ethnicity". Good enough for me. I will give you Brenner and def James Bond. Def not Larry David. Wennington and Patrick Ewing did not age well. BTW Mullin, Allan Houston and Herb Williams look like they did while they were playing.

Are you referring to the real Boo Harvey or the pudgy 41 year old vertically challenged attorney that posts under his name?

You. You say in refutation of my post that the three million isn't tax free and that he won't make anywhere near three million anyway and maybe not in China. Fair enough. Say the deal is to make say 10K a month to play ball in Turkey as a starting salary. Would that have enticed the 22 year old you to leave school and go. Because it would have enticed me. Regardless of the details I don't see that leaving school and playing abroad for money is completely puzzling, as the OP found it.

I wasn’t refuting your post, just clarifying. I agree it would have been tempting for the real Boo Harvey as he had a daughter while in school.

For my part, no amount of money in the world would stop me from being the starting pg for SJU for four years. Have you seen the movie Brewster’s Millions? I often envision myself as the Richard Pryor character, but instead of pitching against the Yankees, I’m the starting pg for the Johnnies.

The political atmosphere of today in China and being so close to NORTH Korea Is not conducive to be playing a carefree basketball career. If i could not play in the NBA would not take that route

I always wanted to be the starting Center. I have no problem putting on weight.
