Hey J.R., I'd just like to congratulate you on all your success and thank you for contributing so many memories to my life. Not only on screen but with your various duties behind the scenes and especially for the many online stories, commentary, and lessons you impart every week on this site. Your jalapeño mustard sauce is also the best there is. Sorry for the digression. My question is the obvious one for the NBA today. I know you're a lifelong Sooners football fan, but what are your thoughts on former Sooners basketball sensation Blake Griffin who is virtually guaranteed to be the first overall pick in today's NBA draft? With that, what are your thoughts on athletes making the jump to the pros either straight out of high school or before college is over?

J.R.'s Answer:
Blake is a quality young man who has visited JR's BBQ on more than one occasion. Blake Griffin was the #1 overall pick in the NBA draft but I sure wish he was coming to OKC rather than to the Clippers. I think kids should attend college at least one year before going to the NBA. Preferably longer but at least one year. Certainly not straight out of high school.
