Jeremy Tyler completed his jump from high school underclassman to pro basketball player on Wednesday when he signed a one-year, $140,000 contract with Maccabi Haifa of the Israeli Premier League.
Tyler, 18, is the first American-born player to leave high school early to play basketball professionally overseas. The 6-foot-11, 260-pound Tyler announced in the spring that he was skipping his senior season at San Diego High because prep basketball had become boring.
I always though football players were stupid but at least they go to college

hmmm....
With an education and some hard work, one could make 140K per year with very little chance of it all ending due an on the job injury and very little chance of being replaced by a younger version of yourself in under 10 years.Sleep, eat, conquer, meditate, repeat.
