NBA Players with College Degrees

[Myth]

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

And 500 on the SAT? I've never heard of anybody actually scoring that low. Probably because anybody that knows they are that dumb already know they are not going to college.

You can't have a 500 on the SAT and play college ball.NCAA Clearinghouse states you have to have at least an 820 math/ verbal combined

Plenty of guys in the NBA have college degrees. Even players that got drafted out of high school have went to college in the summers to earn degrees.

Devin Harris is finishing school in the summer to get a degree. He needs about 100 something credits to finish.

[Allstar24]

In order to get into Wake Forest, Howard needed an SAT score of at least 950. Howard did not get a 950, saying his score was "somewhere in the 500s".

Somewhere in the 500s? How can one be that stupid? You should be able to get close to 800 based on common sense and pure luck.

David Robinson may be the smartest guy in the history of the NBA:

Robinson scored a 1320 on the SAT, and he chose to go to the U.S. Naval Academy, where he majored in mathematics.

Devin Harris did not score in the 500's he wouldn't be eligible under the NCAA no matter how high his GPA was. (I believe it's a sliding scale, higher GPA means you can afford a lower SAT score).

My uncle met Trajan Langdon, he said he had a 4.0 GPA at Duke.

[Prodigy]

Devin Harris is finishing school in the summer to get a degree. He needs about 100 something credits to finish.

That means he has taken like... 4 courses... Over a time period of how many years?

Anyways, I'm not sure why you guys are surprised that Josh Howard had a low SAT score. The guy is dumb on and off the court anyways.

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.

Oh man dont even remind me of that game and what vince did.

Thaddeus Young's SAT score probably rivals David Robinson's.

[InspiredLebowski]

I remember hearing Danny Granger had a pretty high SAT score, something north of 1250. I don't know how factual it is, just read it on some blog/message board.

[out|hoops|side]

1250 or north of that, that's just high for a basketball player though right?

[InspiredLebowski]

1250 or north of that, that's just high for a basketball player though right?

Fairly high in general, isn't the average around 1000?

Okay, because I have a friend who wrote it up here in Canada because he was considering universities in the States and he got a 1925 or something around that.
The only reason I say this is because in movies and on
TV it always seems a genius is portrayed as someone who got an SAT mark of 1500 or something, which doesn't seem right to me.
Like in the movie 21, the kid is supposed to be a genius who got a 1475 on the SAT...?
