“They treat you like a piece of property. Period. Point blank. They take things away from you, they talk bad to you, they’re disrespectful to you,” Kylia says at the party. “The act of getting paid is not what makes a difference, the difference is that in the NBA [players] are respected in the role that they’re in. Whatever it is they’re doing, they have a voice and they’re respected. In college, you have no voice. It’s a system set up that they drop you in and tell you what to do—you be a rebounder, shot-blocker, you take all the shots, nobody else can shoot. My child never got to show his full set of skills. He never got to do that.”

Okay, well, you guys are going to feel silly once you read this. Basically retracts everything negative she's said and heaps praise on Duke/K: https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/b...lessing-disguise-could-be-big-time-gain-bulls

I hope you are being facetious considering the following quotes:

“My initial reaction, I was pissed. And it wasn't pissed because Marvin was coming. To be honest, I felt like that was information that was kept from us,” Kylia Carter said. “It felt (shady), it felt like my baby was gonna get kicked to the curb. I felt like all of that.”

While it took Kylia some time to get over it, Wendell Sr. was more pragmatic. It’s there where the balance of the Carter family is on display.

“I tell people. People make promises they can't keep. It didn't bother me,” Wendell Sr. said. “I was concerned because I felt like we were lied to. ‘Oh, Wendell's gonna be the man’ and then the rug was pulled from under us.”

The father had a simple solution for his son: “Just go play ball.”

As for the blessing in disguise, Kylia Carter has yet to give Krzyzewski her true feelings from promises that weren’t kept. But it’s coming.

“We have not had our conversation but we will. We almost went there with him when we did our exit interview,” she said. “But he'll come around to a Bulls game and I'll get the chance.”

Like the Bulls, mom is letting it build.

Does Cal ever get this kind of shit from parents? Maybe UK's parting gifts are better than Duke's.

I don't know why K puts up with this shit. These parents are essentially half his age and the kids 1/4. I'd be so done.

It’s only a matter of time before one of these asshole parents pushes him too far and catches him calling the mom a stupid cunt on camera. He’ll retire in shame, legacy ruined.

I assumed it would be obvious that I was being sarcastic, given that she did the exact opposite of what I said.
