Goatees make dudes look fat. It's true. It's probably because a lot of fat dudes grow them, so there's some mental correlation going on.

I'm legit actually fucking scared right now.
Fuck Damian Lillard.

Student-athletes will be able to participate in the NBA draft and return to school if undrafted,

I swear that already used to be a thing. Don't sign with an agent, go undrafted => go back to school. Maybe they previously took it away, maybe this is extending it to those who do get an agent, I don't know.
Come to think of it, yeah, I think they took it away years back because those poor millionaire coaches hated being in limbo, so they imposed an extremely early deadline to withdraw from the draft. (The deadline was extended in recent years.)
By diehard Go To Postyeah, noted terrible person and guy who injures people Damian Lillard.Think it was a dumb attempt at a short joke
I really don't think a lot of these kids will be going back to school. These dudes that are undrafted aren't going to be going back to school for a year and suddenly be lottery talent. I would guess most of them will get summer league invites and go for that and try and get a 2 way deal.
Also I dont really get why the NBA continues to not have Atlanta play on MLK day.

Guessing they want to have people withdraw from the draft if they don't make the combine? Changing a rule for half a dozen players seems strange.
Here’s how it might actually work
Let’s take two Arizona players from last season as an example: Rawle Alkins and Allonzo Trier. Each declared for the draft as underclassmen and were invited to the combine. Each signed agents and decided to stay in the draft. Each went undrafted. Under the new rules, players like Alkins and Trier would be able to return to school.
The problem is that this rule change applies to a small number of players. The NBA invited 69 athletes to the combine in 2018, which left plenty of capable players with pro dreams on the outside looking in. St. John’s guard Shamorie Ponds is one example of a player who was snubbed by the combine. Now those decisions on who is in and out of the combine take on extra weight.
This year, only six players would have fit this criteria: Kansas’ Malik Newman, UNLV’s Brandon McCoy, Duke’s Trevon Duval, South Carolina’s Brian Bowen (who had his own issues) and Alkins and Trier.

Of all the things wrong and ugly in that logo I'm still just baffled by the basketball flame egg being cut off at the top the most.
Other than the horizontal cut that's like the most depressing flame/fire detailing I've ever seen too. Unless it's supposed to be a Hawk claw or something, then it's even more wtf are they trying to do there.

The whole thing is incredibly poorly thought out and reactionary, to try and pre-empt a proper re-work.
The whole, allowing HS / College players that are elite to sign an agent sounds good. But USA Basketball, who the NCAA has assigned as the ones to determine elite talent, doesn't want the job nor has the resourced to do the job.
It's just a stupid PR move. Fully expect the NBA to largely ignore their shit and force their hand at real reform soon.
