NBA Players with College Degrees

[Gunnin4HoLeS]

So im thinking how many players past or present have a education?
a few suprises is that

Antawn Jamison and Jerry Stachhouse have a degree in African-American studies
Michael Jordan graduated with a degree in Geography...

What the? are there any more?Maybe in other sports as well that may suprise you

Tim Tim I don't know what he studied though. What kind of job can you get with a degree in African American studies?

[ForceOfNature]

Michael Ruffin - Engineering

I think you'd have to become a professor with a degree like that. I guess you could also write books on the subject.

I know Vince Carter has a degree because he received it on the same day as game 7 against Philly in 01.

Emeka Okafor- Finance

He graduated with a 4.0 GPA too.

Too bad he still sucks at scoring though.

He graduated with a 4.0 GPA too.

Too bad he still sucks at scoring though.

He also graduated after his junior year. So he finished in 3years. Didn't Ben Gordon say that Okafor always studied and reading textbooks while they were on the bus/planes to away games?

I also remember some scrub who barely played in the NBA. He was in SLAM magazine. But he was ridicoulously smart, 4.0 GPA, pre-med student. When he left the NBA, he went to medical school!

I don't know what Candace Parker's major was, but apparently she also got a 4.0GPA as well ! Smart and pretty =).

[worldbefree]

98% of college to pro athletes didn't earn their degree and yes I made up that percentage.

although, I do believe Okafor is a smart dude.

let's not be naive.

Or you could get one of the millions of jobs out there that don't necessarily require a very specific degree.

ok guys... gpa doesn't really matter when most nba players major in communication or something real stupid...

on the other thread they said pau gasol got ACCEPTED to medical school... i wonder which would have made him more money overall.

[out|hoops|side]

Shaq has a degree in Bachelor of Arts in General Studies.
And Damon Stoudamire received a degree from the University of Arizona, the same guy who tried to smuggle pot through a metal-detector at an airport by wrapping it in tin foil.
