Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves), Trevor Ariza (New Orleans Hornets) and Baron Davis (Cleveland Cavaliers) are all back in the UCLA campus and are taking the same American Popular Culture class.
Love even posted a picture of himself, Ariza, Westbrook and Davis on Twitter, saying, "School in session. Back at UCLA."
According to Kenny Donaldson, UCLA's athletics assistant director of academic services, former UCLA players Arron Afflalo and Jordan Farmar are also considering going back to school.
Spears also reports that Anthony Randolph of the Minnesota Timberwolves has also gone back to his alma mater, the Louisiana State University.
Ariza told Spears that the current NBA lockout "could spur players to take their education more seriously."
Many NBA players left college early, with some of them leaving school as early as after their freshman year.
