As most of you might know, Tyler hansbrough Hansbrough was recently caught jumping off of a balcony at a frat party into a inflated pool. Psycho-T is suppose to be an NBA ready player and is apperently staying one more year in college, from the look of this picture, he easily could have broken his leg and ruined it all.

What do you think?

[ikoiko]

i think that looks like fun!

[KenneBell]

Typical fratboy stuff. There's probably guys out there doing much worse.

[RIMMER]

:oldlol: I can see why he doesn't want to leave college just yet.

[daballa13]

I think Hansbrough is a dumbass period for deciding to come back, his value wont go no higher, and for doing **** like this, He just does stupid things and doesnt seem like a mature professional(unlike Josh Howard).

His value has been basically the same since his freshman year.

[leopoldstotch]

look on the bright side. he could have been doing crack cocaine, feeling up hoes in a dark alleyway, sneaking into a casino, DUI, or part of a counterfeit operation. :)

[bigkingsfan]

It's not that high you pansy..

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

it's his life..

[Younggrease]

If that were Beasely I wonder how the media would have covered it?

[LuCKy_JuNiOr]

I think it's fine, not like he's going to be an NBA great, just one of those "hustle" guys.

[Qwyjibo]

Would be funny if he does this next offseason and breaks his leg once and then goes undrafted. Well, funny for some... not for him.

[DuMa]

wow he even dances like mark madsen. scary :(

[32jazz]

I think Hansbrough is a dumbass period for deciding to come back, his value wont go no higher, and for doing **** like this, He just does stupid things and doesnt seem like a mature professional(unlike Josh Howard).

I agree & the last 26 college players of the year agree also. He is the first to return in about 26 years, I believe, risking injury (on or off the court). I know college may be fun ,but I would ever touch another college floor after getting POY.

[KNOW1EDGE]

I think its awesome.

Psycho-T is the man.

Just cuz your gonna go to the NBA you shouldnt have any fun?

You shouldnt live a normal life?

Its like a 15ft drop anyways dude.

[kidachi]

will he be Mark Madsen or Brad Daugherty(w/o the injury)?

[v-unit]

Definatly isn't "living normal" KNOW1EDGE, and no it's not because your going to the NBA you can't have fun. It's because your going to the NBA that you have to relook your life, realize that your future depends on you health and you must make sure you maintain it.

[Vendetta]

K. I don't follow college at all. Never seen the guy play.

But he's white and good in college. There's about a 75-90% chance he's going to suck balls in the NBA. Should have taken the money while it was there.

[gts]

what a fool... at least take your socks off...

[InspiredLebowski]

Buzz Bissinger is not pleased. You're humiliating Hansbrough!

[Da KO King]

Not shocking at all; Hanbrough is an odd kat. Did a feature with ESPN that included a bit on how he and his buddies play a game where you smack ping pong balls into each other's chest.

If you use that logic, maybe he wants an education to back himself up?:confusedshrug:

[Sharas]

that gif is awesome too:oldlol:

he definitely isn't called psycho T for no reason:oldlol:

I don't agree with you, but 75-90% is a ridiculous range to put anything or anyone. That's a dumb Magic Johnson comment right there. It doesn't really mean anything and doesn't qualify anything. It's about as good as "60% of the time it works everytime."


Like someone else said in this thread; it's his life. No one else got hurt, no one would've got hurt but him, so let him make his own decisions. For any of you to act morally justified and righteous is way too pretentious.

Ok, how many truly good white players are in the league right now that were NCAA stars? Excuse the 75-90% comment. It's more like 99%.

[Darius]

Bunch of jealous nerds in this thread.

He's just a young college guy having fun - it's his own business.

[wang4three]

I'm not exactly challenging your intention just that 75-90% is a ridiculous range to throw out. It doesn't mean anything.

And for the record, doesn't really have to do much with race. If you take into an account of college stars in the NBA, I bet only the top 10 percentile actually are considered "good". Maybe even less. You just don't realize how hard it is to make it in the NBA. Race regardless. The statistic is smaller for whites than blacks (but also the disparity of those entering the NBA by race is also needed to be taken into consideration), but it's a unilateral statement. Just look at it at a draft by draft basis out of 60 picks (80% which are NCAA stars or what have you) only 2-5 are actually "good" in the NBA. Race regardless.

I don't get this. Can't you reply this to just about every comment you see on a message board?

No one of us is actually going to beat him up for being a moron. He can make his own choices. But we have the right to criticize him for the choices he makes, especially if the choice is "I'm gonna throw away millions and maybe my career because I want to do crazy **** in college once more" or something retarded like that.

[wang4three]

You can and you wouldn't be wrong for it.

You have the right to say whatever you want. But that coin is too sided. I have the right to criticize you for your opinions because I believe college is also a venue for fun and a vehicle to experience what you won't necessarily will be able to later on in your life. Right now he's a 21 year old living the dream. Big time college player in a big time school going to big parties. Let him live. You can criticize all you want, but in turn, I can also call you pretentious.

Actually, I do know how hard it is to make the NBA and I do have some appreciation for it.

Anthony Bowie was a bench player for the Magic and in the league for maybe 3 years if that. He played against some locals here and he destroyed the absolute **** out of everybody there. It was literally like Michael Jordan playing against the worst player in the league. That's how big the discrepancy was.

Most people don't realize that NBA bench warmers are still damn near basketball gods by comparison to the average player.

[insidehoops]

Obviously someone who hopes to be in the NBA in the future shouldn't be jumping off a roof ever, let alone into a weak, shallow, inflated pool. If that picture is real, he's stupid for doing it.

Ofcourse. So my point is simple: regardless of race, and whether you're a college star, it's just incredibly hard to make in the NBA. It's not as if there's any sort of formula at all.

[v-unit]

I'm just thinking, if this were any regular college kid, then I wouldn't say I encourage this, but I would be fine with it. Those are the best years of your life, you need to have fun, because after that the workplace will kill you. But when you are Tyler Hansbrough, your future relies on your health, you have to keep it up and keep it strong. Just think of what happend to Jay Williams, I realize that that's an extreme example, but he wanted to have fun, and didn't realize that his health was what was keeping his job, much like Tyler, and he got in an accident and killed his ball future.

[ALBballer]

Not that big of a deal. Me and my friends would jump off the top of his garage into his pool a few years back.

And from the looks of the pic, it seems like he's jumping from one story only.

[RidonKs]

Not shocking at all; Hanbrough is an odd kat. Did a feature with ESPN that included a bit on how he and his buddies play a game where you smack ping pong balls into each other's chest.
Sting? That's not odd, that's just a good time. Lose a point, lift your shirt.

Psycho-T is suppose to be an NBA ready player and is apperently staying one more year in college, from the look of this picture, he easily could have broken his leg and ruined it all.[/IMG]

He could easily walk outside and get hit by a bus and break his leg and ruin it all too.

And not only that, but I'm not sure if you've ever been to college, but all it consists of is getting drunk, doing dumb ****, penetrating females, and then sometimes a lil bit of class here and there.

[MochaUdoka]

The dude is still young and in college, let him be wild n crazy. He can jump off all the balconies he wants for all I care ... I hate UNC lol

Also water doesn't break your leg from a 15 foot drop, unless the pool is only as deep as where the picture cuts off lol, in which case i WOULD call him a dumbass no matter who he was for jumping into a kiddie pool

[Hawker]

OH YEAH SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON!!!

Seriously though, it's college so let him enjoy himself.

[Younggrease]

I just graduaed last year and that was stupid...his friends should have told him it was stupid too. He has too much to lose to do some dumb stuff like that. You can have just as much fun not jumping off of balconies into little pools. College is all about having fun, I rarely went to class but the jumping off a balcony is still dumb and makes him look stupid. As a senior in college, your susposed to be over that stuff by that time.


I dont understand its college let him enjoy himself crowd...are you guys just overcompensating for either not going to college or going to parties like that?

[bdreason]

Not very smart... but neither is passing up gauranteed millions to finish College. The first 3 year contract in the NBA will make Tyler more than a college degree will make him his entire life (most likely).

[v-unit]

How can you say he could just walk down the street and get hit by a bus? Everyone walks down the street everyday, everyone knows of those dangers and makes there way not to get hit by a bus. If your jumping frm oa balcony into a small pool, you can't change your jump to make sure you don't risk injury. You have an extremly higher chance of getting injured then being hit by a bus, those two arn't even comparable.

As a senior in college you're supposed to mature? Say you go to a 4 year university immediately after high school, you're the average age of 18 then, so senior year of college you're probably 22. After what probably amounts to less than one year of being able to drink legally, you're supposed to be over stupid stuff? I think you have college and the youth of America highly mistaken there broseph.

And, yes, they are very comparable. There's dangers in everything you can possibly do. You understand the potential consequences and say **** em. Chances are if you ride a bicycle, you're gonna fall off a couple times. Does that mean a child that starts playing basketball should be strictly reprimanded when they ride a bike, cuz what if they fall off and hurt themselves and ruin it all?

People do stupid things. Usually you learn when the potential consequences become the actual consequences, stop acting like a bunch of *****es that never did anything stupid and got yelled at by your parents or teachers or whoever for something you didn't consider to be a big deal.

[Hammertime]

Geez, have any of you people ever actually been in a fraternity? What Hansbrough is doing there is some pretty tame stuff.

[v-unit]

It doesn't matter if that is the weakest thing they do in a fraternity. He plays basketball, is the player of the year, and plans on having a future in the NBA, he can't risk doing something stupid like that.

Jay Williams was doing the same thing, wanted to have fun and bought a motorcycle, broke almost every bone in his body and was out forever, he never returned to basketball even though he was sought out to be an amazing player.

Thats how dumb poor people learn. I don't think Tyler wants to be dumb and poor but I could be wrong.

Hmmm, perhaps you're right. I think David Stern should commission ISH to come up with an acceptable list of activities for basketball players. How about Scrabble and solitaire and yoga?

[v-unit]

I'm all for having fun, especially in college, like I said, it's the best years of your life, but if you are Tyler Hansborough, unfortunatly, you have limitations that other people don't have. Anybody in his situation should know of those restrictions, that's just the way it is, if he didn't play basketball, I would have said "Damn look at this guy! Living life!" but unfortunatly, it's Tyler Hansbrough, he can't do that.

[JayGuevara]

Thats how dumb poor people learn. I don't think Tyler wants to be dumb and poor but I could be wrong.


Oh that's right, I forgot, anybody that's rich doesn't have to make mistakes before learning from them.

The majority of you are ****ing idiots.

[v-unit]

Your an idiot if you can't see this is wrong for Tyler Hansbrough, the majority of us are all agreeing that it's wrong, as well as every analyst on television, but because you have an opinion that is different, we are all wrong and you are right?

[MochaUdoka]

Haha someone brought up the argument "there are dangers in everything in life". This is true, but you are supposed to keep your mistakes to a minimum by learning from other people's mistakes and not your own.

It's called calculated risks, and its how you survive in this world.

That's why if that pool is extremely shallow or Tyler jumped off the roof and not the balcony then he would be very dumb. However it seems he survived his jump unscathed, so the risk of injury/death probably wasn't that great.

Everything is magnified because he plays basketball and "he could be throwing away millions of dollars". So yes, in that respect its a "big risk", but everything seems to have turned out fine so what's the big deal? :confusedshrug:


Oh BTW v-unit that is an awesome avatar :oldlol:

but why is Paris Hilton there? Is she a pot-head or something?

[v-unit]

Ahaha thanks, it's actually Nicole Richie because I used to be in love with her, and all of my avatars used to have a picture of her. So this time I just kind of showed her asking for weed basically and Josh Howard blazing it up.

[Sharas]

it's not that i don't want him to have fun...

but frankly, that's NOT really smart if you want to make your living off playing basketball. there are millions of ways to have fun that don't include DIRECTLY risking an injury.

and anyways, how many people jump off the roof to a child pool? am i really missing a great experience by having never done that:confusedshrug: ?

[MochaUdoka]

Ahaha thanks, it's actually Nicole Richie because I used to be in love with her, and all of my avatars used to have a picture of her. So this time I just kind of showed her asking for weed basically and Josh Howard blazing it up.

oh lol, that's cool. the picture goes by kinda fast, it looked like Paris.

Nicole Richie is sexier tho, I always thought Paris was too skinny (Richie looked terrible too when she lost all that weight I hope she doesn't still look like a skeleton)

[JayGuevara]

I'm not saying it wasn't a stupid decision on his part, I'm just saying you're all idiots for criticizing him. Young people make stupid decisions, whether they're about to be millionaires or gonna live in poverty their entire lives.

[v-unit]

Hahaha yes, I am the exact same way. She got pregnant and put on weight, shes pretty much back to normal, but we can only tell once she gives birth. When she was thick, she was so sexy, pretty much a huge celebrity crush.

[tsforthrees]

it was a judgement call on his part, but one slip and his future career would be done. i'm not saying i've never jumped off a balcony before, but i don't have an athletic career in my future either.

[v-unit]

I'm not saying it wasn't a stupid decision on his part, I'm just saying you're all idiots for criticizing him. Young people make stupid decisions, whether they're about to be millionaires or gonna live in poverty their entire lives.

No, not every young person makes stupid decisions, I know what your trying to get at, but that is the wrong idea, it's not like that. Because of that, we arn't idiots for criticizing because he didn't do it with every other kid in college, he did it with his group, but there are tons of people in college who would realize that it's wrong to risk an injury on yourself if your future realizes on your health.

[InspiredLebowski]

I'm not saying it wasn't a stupid decision on his part, I'm just saying you're all idiots for criticizing him. Young people make stupid decisions, whether they're about to be millionaires or gonna live in poverty their entire lives.

I don't think it's unreasonable to hope for just one athlete to not make a stupid choice. We shouldn't just condone it because "hey, everybody does it."

[Hammertime]

It doesn't matter if that is the weakest thing they do in a fraternity. He plays basketball, is the player of the year, and plans on having a future in the NBA, he can't risk doing something stupid like that.

Jay Williams was doing the same thing, wanted to have fun and bought a motorcycle, broke almost every bone in his body and was out forever, he never returned to basketball even though he was sought out to be an amazing player.

Difference being that Jay Williams was contractually obligated to stay away from bikes. I don't think Hansbrough's scholarship says it'd be voided if he participated in a fraternity stunt.

Do you think once he makes the NBA that his contract will allow him to jump from balconies into small pools? They will put that restriction there for a reason, because they don't want him to get injured.

[Hammertime]

Maybe that's exactly why he's doing it. Maybe that's why we all did that stuff in college. You don't really get to do stuff like that in the real world.

[v-unit]

Maybe that's exactly why he's doing it. Maybe that's why we all did that stuff in college. You don't really get to do stuff like that in the real world.

But you don't get to do all that stuff in the NBA because it can end your career, he should realize that there are restrictions on his future contract fora reason, because it could end his career. Now he should take that mentality the same way with his present basketball career. There are no contracts in college, so he should set his own rules and realize what is best for him, and whats best for him is not to risk injury on stupid things like this.

[JayGuevara]

I don't think it's unreasonable to hope for just one athlete to not make a stupid choice. We shouldn't just condone it because "hey, everybody does it."

No, but it's unreasonable to hold athletes to an entirely different standard. If you hold yourself to the same standards, and you never make mistakes or stupid decisions that you think may be fun, then you can criticize him all you want. Until then, he's a 21 (?) year old kid, having a good time in college who happens to be a decent basketball player also. He's still allowed to do the same things you and I do, he's still allowed to make mistakes, and most importantly, he's allowed to do whatever the **** he wants to, because it's his life.

[ForceOfNature]

Not shocking at all; Hanbrough is an odd kat. Did a feature with ESPN that included a bit on how he and his buddies play a game where you smack ping pong balls into each other's chest.

Haha yeah I remember seeing that, he likes getting beat around I guess. Although people are downplaying it, this actually seems like a pretty big fall and could easily break your bones in your leg. Shaun Livingston dislocated his knee by just jumping 2 feet off the ground.

[insidehoops]

Jumping off a roof is generally stupid
Jumping off a roof into a cheap-looking inflated pool that appears shallow is stupid
Doing the above when your entire career is going to revolve around being physically healthy is even more stupid

That is all

[tsforthrees]

i'm surprised he didn't do his trademark wannabe 360. no style points whatsoever
