I would prefer that basketball players keep their mouths shut, for many obvious reasons.

There are players who love to speak to the media. The media has to figure out who they are, and just speak with them. If they happen to be stars, great. If not, then maybe the stars will get off their high horses and start to respect thier fans by speaking with the media.

The only person on any team who should be required to speak with the media is the team captain. That's all. This madatory crap is just that.
