Meet the oldest college basketball player in the world, 73-year old Ken Mink. He was kicked out of Lees Junior College in Kentucky back in 1956, when he was only 21-years old, for covering his coach’s office in shaving cream. He has always regretted never finishing his years as a college basketball player so he decided to make a comeback at the age of 73.
Everybody needs to stop picking on Kansas State basketball star Michael Beasley, afterall he’s just a little kid.
“I just turned 19 years old in January,” Beasley said. “How mature do you want me to be? I’m still a kid. I’m not 20 yet. I’m not legal. I can vote, but that’s about it. On the basketball side of things, I’m 30 years old. Off the court, I don’t know how old y’all want me to be. Do you want me to act 25? 30? 40?. I’m 19. I’m a kid. I’m going to live my life. I’m going to mess up. I don’t know as much as you do or him. I’m learning day by day. I hear a lot about character issues. But I’ve yet to hear what those character issues are. Until I hear somebody tell me, I don’t feel the need to change.”
