The Final Score

Well, I'm not sure if *almost* is accurate. But here goes:

At the end of my junior year of college, I decided to forgo my final year of eligibility and apply for the NBA Draft.

My goal was to get my name in the NBA Draft media guide along with the other early entries. And why couldn't I? I was a college junior who was forgoing my final year of eligibility.

So I called the NBA offices and asked how I should go about entering the draft. They sent me an application, which I filled out and mailed back. I even called a few days before the draft to make sure I was on their list. They said I was. Great!

Unfortunately, when the media guide came out, I was not listed.

Nor was I drafted.

Oh well.
