In Oliver Stone's classic film Wall Street, the iconic main character Gordon Gekko describes terrible, worthless stocks as "dogs" and "dogs with fleas." In another line of dialogue, he asks his mentee Bud Fox. "I bet you were up all night analyzing that dogshit stock?" I guess Mr. Gekko didn't like canines too much.

Houston's Aubrey Coleman took home the honor last year. And going back to 1998-99 (take a look at the list here), I guarantee you've never heard of any of the scoring champions, other than Davidson's Stephen Curry in … [Read more...] about Nation’s Leading Scorer (UConn’s Kemba Walker) Badly Needs Help
