Did you know what the Bird Collegiate Rule is?

The Bird Collegiate Rule.

The NBA draft eligibility rules were changed to prevent teams from drafting players before they were ready to sign.

When the Boston Celtics selected the 6'9", 220-pound Bird 6th overall in the 1978 NBA Draft, even though they were uncertain whether he would enter the NBA or remain at Indiana State to play his senior season. Bird ultimately decided to play his final college season, but the Celtics retained their exclusive right to sign him until the 1979 NBA Draft, because of the NBA's "junior eligible" rule that existed at that time (allowing a collegiate player to be drafted when the player's original "entering" class was graduating and giving them one calendar year to sign them, even if they went back to college). Shortly before that deadline, Bird agreed to sign with the Celtics for a US $650,000 a year contract, making him at the time the highest-paid rookie in the history of the NBA.

Rap and Hip Hop Stars Who Went to College

Everybody knows that Kanye West decided he was better off without higher education - see his incredibly successful album, ''College Dropout''. But what about the rappers who stayed in school? Being educated may not be part of the hip hop image, but it has helped a lot of high-profile rappers achieve success.

Did you know these Rap Stars have Degrees?

Actually, not everyone on this list has graduated. But every hip hop artist below either got her degree, is currently attending college or, like Common, has acknowledged his years in school as an element of his success.

• Lil Wayne attended the University of Houston (UH), but hails from New Orleans. At the tender age of 11 Wayne met rapper Bryan Williams, owner of Cash Money Records, who mentored him through his teen years. Wayne began releasing solo albums in 1999, but didn't achieve his current level of super-popularity until his 2004 album 'Tha Carter.' He's received one Grammy and been nominated for eight others.

• Roxanne Shante didn't just go to college - she got Warner Music to put her all the way through her PhD at Cornell. Coming out of Queens, New York, Shante achieved early success as a teenager with her biggest hit, 'Roxanne's Revenge.'

In 2006, Banner received a Visionary Award from the National Black Caucus of the State Legislature for his work after Hurricane Katrina.
