^I was expecting a lot worse when I clicked on that.

As much as he can be made fun of for that...it's pretty creative compared to the shit we usually see from college basketball players (think Steve Blake's website).

First of all, that was hilarious.

Second of all...who the fuck is it that keeps giving out student-athlete work? I remember the same thing happened to TBDV last year. I swear, our fans just love making us look ridiculous.

2/17/2011 1:57:04 PM

so there is a class where that is appropriate to turn in? lol

2/17/2011 1:58:15 PM

I thought that was pretty good actually.

2/17/2011 1:58:35 PM

i'm not going to lie, that is actually kind of awesome

2/17/2011 1:58:39 PM

ahaha

2/17/2011 1:59:32 PM

that's actually pretty decent

2/17/2011 1:59:54 PM

epic

2/17/2011 2:01:17 PM

Content-wise, it's borderline tasteless.

But from an academic standpoint it's a perfectly decent example of freshman creative writing.

2/17/2011 2:04:20 PM

Not even sure it's tasteless. It's creative writing.

2/17/2011 2:07:58 PM

borderline tastless? well then, 2 and half men is borderline porn. (i hate that show)

pls to post (or PM) the text.

2/17/2011 2:34:52 PM

what did CJ actually get suspended for?

2/17/2011 2:36:37 PM

breaking a team rule

2/17/2011 2:37:16 PM

yeah but what did he do?

[Edited on February 17, 2011 at 2:38 PM. Reason : ?]

2/17/2011 2:38:33 PM

those kinds of things aren't made public very often

http://blogs.newsobserver.com/accnow/lowe-chalks-up-leslies-suspension-to-youth

see for yourself

[Edited on February 17, 2011 at 2:40 PM. Reason : suspended for youth]

2/17/2011 2:39:51 PM

i know they aren't public, i was just curious if anyone had any idea what it could be for

[Edited on February 17, 2011 at 2:41 PM. Reason : .]

2/17/2011 2:41:20 PM

i took that course ... yeah you could basically write anything, i guess as long as you dont threaten anyone or anything

2/17/2011 2:42:28 PM

can someone please paste that in here. deadspin is blocked at work

2/17/2011 2:43:11 PM

missing a team practice, missing class...

at first i thought that maybe he was suspended for all those stupid shots he took... but then he came back against WF and immediately hoisted a 3, so i guess that wasn't it.

oh, and there were rumors of point shaving

2/17/2011 2:43:26 PM

anyone want to post the text (or the image if its just an image)? my phone doesnt like deadspin for some reason

2/17/2011 2:44:09 PM

fucking hilarious

anyone want to COPY-PASTE the poem??

2/17/2011 2:54:15 PM

it's an image, lot of work there

2/17/2011 2:57:20 PM

[Edited on February 17, 2011 at 2:58 PM. Reason : there is no way this is real, i just don't believe someone would turn this in]

2/17/2011 2:57:23 PM

i believe it

2/17/2011 2:59:13 PM

I really don't see how people can't believe that this was turned in

I'm sure this was tame compared some other poems that were turned in

[Edited on February 17, 2011 at 3:02 PM. Reason : I have seen some WILD shit written for creative writing classes]

2/17/2011 3:02:13 PM

seriously? wow times have changed since I was in school


damn i sound old

Meh, that's not a big deal

you'd never see a UNC bball player write a poem like this

because they don't go to class

(i decided to go with the academic cheating angle, as opposed to the He finally came angle)

2/17/2011 3:06:43 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

CJ LESLIE FOR ACADEMIC ALL-ACC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah there's always at least one girl who will write a really graphic story of being raped/losing her virginity and at least one guy who will write a Saw movie where someone gets nailed to the floor of the desert and eaten by scorpions

2/17/2011 3:07:55 PM

kevmcd86 is like the guy on the commercial and his cell phone sucks dick so he has to wait
a really long time before the joke finishes downloading

2/17/2011 3:24:23 PM

^^well, it is a pretty bitch move to pull...Its just a funny bitch move when it happens to a player from another school

[Edited on February 17, 2011 at 3:26 PM. Reason : ^that dude had the fast phone]

2/17/2011 3:25:10 PM

^^Actually that guy is the first to get the joke, it's the other people that have to wait a long time for the download.

But I get what was meant.

2/17/2011 3:32:28 PM

yea, i realized that. couldnt find a pic of the others. plus i could make a jaybee crack

2/17/2011 3:32:49 PM

That poem is actually not bad. For his sake, I wish Dead Spin hadn't gotten their hands on it. I don't see the big deal honestly.

2/17/2011 3:48:34 PM

Today I learned that Cj Leslie doesn't capitalize the J in his name.

2/17/2011 3:49:55 PM

if its even real

2/17/2011 3:50:00 PM

I'm more embarrassed by the poor syntax than the subject matter of making a girl cum on Valentine's day

2/17/2011 3:52:56 PM

CJ's mom is at home surfing the internet, and comes across this article and is like

2/17/2011 3:53:58 PM

poor grammar/sentence structure doesn't really exist in the realm of poetry
