I wasn't the best player on my high school team. That distinction belonged to my teammate who went on to play high D-1 ball and have short career in the NBA. Girls in and around our school (and we were in a pretty small town) were throwing themselves at him. He had two different instances where girls claimed they were pregnant after sleeping with him. We weren't particularly close (I wasn't a starter then and he was two years ahead of me) so I wasn't privy to what actually went down but I always heard that his parents, fearing for his future, paid off one of the girls to have the pregnancy terminated.
I bring this up because, for better or worse, a lot of these athletes aren't being bedded for their prowess in the bedroom or even the celebrity/status factor. Some young ladies frankly see these guys as meal tickets. I wish some of the young men would take more responsibility and care in what they do but that's youth I guess. I also wish some of the young ladies would have a tad bit more self-respect than throwing themselves at athletes. But yeah, this happens pretty much everywhere.
