Ty Lawson On Amateurism, Point Guards, & Denver’s Playoff Hopes

Posted Jan 15, 2015
Ty Lawson: "I feel like everybody thinks that the NCAA is exploiting these kids – especially basketball and football players. I know they’re getting scholarships, but they produce a lot of money off being in video games and putting their numbers on jerseys and stuff, and schools and the NCAA are the only ones making a profit. The players aren’t getting anything; [the NCAA] is taking it all." (Dime Magazine)
