The NBA All-Star weekend is just a couple of days away. For no reason at all I looked at the rosters and wondered how much college basketball they played combined. Here are the results.
Eastern Conference:
Rajon Rondo (Kentucky - 2 years)
Dwyane Wade (Marquette - 2 years)
LeBron James (0 years)
Carmelo Anthony (Syracuse - 1 year)
Kevin Garnett (0 years)
Chris Bosh (Georgia Tech - 1 year)
Jrue Holiday (UCLA - 1 year)
Paul George (Fresno St. - 2 years)
Luol Deng (Duke - 1 year)
Joakim Noah (Florida - 3 years)
Tyson Chandler (0 years)
Kyrie Irving (Duke - 1 year)
Brook Lopez (Stanford - 2 years)
Total = 16 seasons
Western Conference:
Chris Paul (Wake Forest - 2 years)
Kobe Bryant (0 years)
Kevin Durant (Texas - 1 year)
Blake Griffin (Oklahoma - 2 years)
Dwight Howard (0 years)
Tim Duncan (Wake Forest - 4 years)
Tony Parker (0 years)
James Harden (Arizona St. - 2 years)
David Lee (Florida - 4 years)
Russell Westbrook (UCLA - 2 years)
Zach Randolph (Michigan St. - 1 year)
LaMarcus Aldridge (Texas - 2 years)
Total = 20 seasons
25 players with 36 seasons of college basketball.
If you take away Duncan & Lee and you have 23 All-Stars with 28 seasons of college hoops.
Bring this up at the water cooler. And tell your friends The Sports Brief is back! For now, we'll see.
