Shorter Larry Scott: Changing the amateurism model isn’t “within the scope” of the Pac-12 task force appointed to make recommendations for cleaning up college basketball, but urging the NBA to change its business model is.
Here’s Smokey Robinson and the Miracles with “The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game”, from their 1971 album One Dozen Roses.
The vocals are stunning — it’s Smokey, after all — but I never liked this version of the song nearly as much as the original released five years earlier by the Marvelettes as the B-side of a single.
Never thought I’d swoon over a clavinet solo, but the one in the middle here is perfect. There’s a tinge of sadness to their version that’s missing from Smokey’s remake that really gets me.
