Been there done that. Bought a Curry #59 before the kid even stepped on the field. Big mistake. I would wait a year or two before I'd make a player purchase.
This also reminds me of the Carmelo Anthony situation with his wife LaLa. She didn't want to be in Denver so somehow managed to get him landed in New York with the Knicks thinking that her celebrity status would thrive.
Who's Lala again?
