I wonder how shocked this guy was when Lin dropped 38 and 7 with a W on the Lakers

well, they give you grant money that covers your entire tuition. At most you end up paying a nominal amount. Its a good deal because they can't yank it like scholarships, if you quit the team the money is still there.
Also, admission requirements are still lower for athletics than the regular population by a good bit.

Re: which current player had highest gpa
Hardest thing about Harvard is getting in. All their students are top-notch or have some kind of hook like Brooke Shields (Princeton). Obviously, Lin didn't get in because of his basketball as he's a relative unknown. Getting high grades in college isn't that hard if you have an easy major.
That Matt Bonner must be on to something - a high GPA and some hold on Popovich to have him play him so much. Back to OT: I'd probably vote Jacques Vaughn - very cerebral, heady kinda guy. Bet he becomes a head coach someday.

Re: which current player had highest gpa
J. Lin may not have had the highest GPA..but i am fairly certain he had the highest SAT/test scores out of anyone that has ever played in the NBA.
"4.2 GPA, perfect score on his SAT II Math 2C in the ninth grade"

That 90-100%you are used to getting is now a 75-85. Also, his major was economics at Harvard. Not the type of major you take if you just are trying to skate by and hoop.
Granted he went to school in Palo Alto, so his high school was probably as hard as Harvard lol.
Yeah, you are correct. At top 10 schools, 90% of your class will test into the 99.9+ percentile of America (at least top 1 in 1000) when entering college.
Yes, there is a crapload of grade inflation but the competition is intense. An A from a average school is no where near comparable to an A from an elite private school.

No it ain't. Unless you mean history is a guaranteed 4.0 as well. You don't have to say "praise the Lord"; you have to know your Hindu, Jainist, Sikh, Shinto, etc. background, dude. And know where it all came from.

Re: which current player had highest gpa
I wouldn't be surprised if most of the better NBA players had high GPAs. After all, they know more than we ever will about hard work.
