HHHMMMM, Makes you think a little bit!

Hypocrisy - the practice of professing beliefs, virtues, or feelings, who does not hold or possess. An act of falseness. Basically your feelings and beliefs are inconsistent with your actions. This is the word that Stephen A. Smith states in his article about phenom Bryce Harper, who some call the biggest phenom since LBJ (Chosen One you see it).

First a little info. Bryce Harper if you don't know is a 17 year old who is known for, if you look up at the SI Cover, to hit 570 feet homer run at 16 and throw 96. He has had a story done on him by E:60 calling him the "Natural". 

And on June 7th, he was drafted by the Washington Nationals with the number one pick. Now to get to Stephen A. Smith's point, Harper dropped out of high school after his sophomore year for better competition, received his GED, went JUCO at the Community College of Southern Nevada where he hit .442 with 29 HR and 89 RBI. He is about to break the bank with his contract, but Stephen A is wondering why there is not a outcry like it was when high schoolers skipped college to compete in the NBA. Stating

"If Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James caused a moment of pause when they elected to bypass college and go straight to the pros, what was all the mumbling about? When Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose or John Wall leaves college after one year, wheres the problem".

Stating that, if Mr. Harper were black and people saw that he had GED locked to his name, much teasing would be around.
