NBA GM Reveals The Terrible Answers NBA Prospects Have Given.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/nba-gm...191058441.html
By Tony Manfred of Business Insider

Team interviews are one of the central components of the NBA Draft process.

It's where NBA executives and coaches can get a feel for the type of person each NBA prospect is before drafting them.

As Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey revealed yesterday in a series of fantastic tweets, sometimes these 19 and-20 year-olds don't give the best answers in job interviews.

Morey says these are questions and answer exchanges from past NBA Drafts:

Do you lead by example or verbally?
"I lead verbally, not by example."

— Daryl Morey (@dmorey) May 20, 2014
Did you have any issues with your coach?
"Coach and I did not see eye to eye."
On what?
"Playing time."
What else?
"He was shorter."

— Daryl Morey (@dmorey) May 20, 2014
Why do you like rebounding?
"I can't do anything without the ball so when I don't have it I have to go get it!"

— Daryl Morey (@dmorey) May 20, 2014
Which foot did you hurt?
"I have been telling people my right foot"

— Daryl Morey (@dmorey) May 20, 2014
Did you have any issues with your coach?
"He didn't like when I took early shots."
What about when they went in?
"Then he liked them."

— Daryl Morey (@dmorey) May 20, 2014
Will sign off with best answer of all time that I tweeted last year as well: Can you pass a drug test?
"Today?!?"

Stupid or brilliant?
