Basketball, A Man 's Favorite Sport

The NBA high school draftees are players who have been drafted to the NBA straight out of high school without playing basketball at the college level. Going directly from high school to the professional level is known as going prep-to-pro. Since 2006, they have prohibited high school basketball players by the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, which states, “The age limit for entering the Draft is 19 years of age. U.S. players must also be at least one year removed from high school. A player will meet the 19-year old requirement so long as he turns 19 during the calendar year of the Draft.” (Nba.com) Even though the players are not able to enter the NBA draft right away doesn’t mean they have to attend college. The player is able to decide weather he wants to play in a professional league overseas, or take the year off. It’s a good thing that the NBA sees that education is important, but is a year too early? I believe the NBA should change the rules and make players attended college for at least 2 years, and take away the option for them to play overseas while waiting a year. “Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom. Education is the way to move mountains, to build bridges, to change the world. Education is the path to the future.” ~Oprah

Basketball is something you have to acquire a taste for like wine, sushi, or vegetables (I find all of these things unappetizing.) You must also be able to understand the logistics of the game. From my understanding basketball is basically two teams of heavily sweating people running up and down a gym for about an hour or more attempting to score points by shooting a ball into a hoop. One of my friends, a lanky boy named Jeremy, was on my school’s basketball team. He was one of the reasons my friend group decided to spend a good portion of our senior year at basketball games.

“It tarnishes what we’re trying to do as coaches; it tarnishes the idea that kids are here to get an education.” Tad Boyle, Colorado men’s basketball head coach from USAtoday.com. With AAU tournaments and Prep Schools getting them ready for the next level, there is much young basketball talent that is considered “NBA ready” within their first year of college. College basketball players should be required to stay in college for at least three years. With all the hype surrounding them to become young superstars, some athletes and members of NBA front offices don’t realize how important two or three more years of college could be to them. The NCAA has a rule like this set on college football players, so the rule for basketball shouldn’t be any different. These extra three years could give these players more time to develop their skills, physique, and get an education,

This essay will help you understand why making the jump from high school to the NBA

In the modern world there are a lot of high school basketball players that have the talent, fundamentals, and body structure to be able to go straight to the NBA after high school. There are people all around the world that want to see these talented players come into the NBA and make an impact right away. High school players should be eligible to bypass college and go straight to the NBA.These terrifically talented athletes could come into the NBA and replace the legends that have retired from the great sport.

In professional basketball and football, it is very fun to see young, flashy, and new star athletes to seemingly come out of nowhere. Athletes such as Kobe Bryant and Lebron James jumped straight from high school, went to play professional basketball, and did very well. This seems like a great idea, but also considering the athlete as a person is important. What happens if he does not perform well? He could lose out on a lot of money and could be in big trouble if he did not go to college. Athletes want to become professionals as soon as possible, but they also could consider getting a degree. The issue of making college a requirement for professional football and basketball athletes is one that makes many people wonder if athletes should actually

    The NBA has implemented a rule that is called the one and done rule. This rules states that players after their high school basketball career cannot go to the NBA without having at least one year in college. This is because the college players might lack what is needed in the NBA and because education nowadays is very important The NBA is so physical and it is most definitely not for everyone. There are some players that are ready for the NBA straight out of high school. A few like Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, and Tracy Mcgrady went to the NBA without going to college before the One and Done rule was implemented. Tracy Mcgrady was introduced to the Hall of Fame in 2017 while Lebron and Kobe are both first ballot Hall of Famers. Rare phenomenons like them can help a NBA team get what they are looking for as they impact the game so much. Although the One and Done rule was created a few years back I believe that the NBA should disregard it because these young players should know what the right step would be for their future career in basketball.

Not all players make it in the NBA it is very hard to do it. The NBA draft is a 2 round draft. 60 players are selected in total. 30 per round. Only the first round draft selections, get a guaranteed contract. So only 30 of the 60 selected are guaranteed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_draft). Not every player that enters the draft is selected. The players that enter and aren’t selected can try to play in the D league or try to make a NBA team with a tryout with that team. With no college education the players don’t have much to fall back on like Tiny Gallon. "[Tiny] had a family, and it was a decision to take care of [them]," says Gallon, who played at Oklahoma and was selected 47th overall by the Milwaukee Buck in 2010. "[Tiny] was at Oklahoma for the money. [Tiny] had to take care of [his] family. [Tiny] felt [he] was ready, so [Tiny] came out. Tiny Gallon now plays in the NBA’s developmental league because he struggled to stay in the NBA. (Auerbach and Martin 2) If Tiny got his college degree than he could be working and doing something else other than basketball. Tiny will not be able to get a good job with no college degree. Arizona coach Sean Miller talks about what players think when they stay longer than one year in college."It's taking the players who return for their second and third years to a level of insanity, where you become a failure

College basketball players should be required to do more than one year of college for better futures and better experience and some people wish that they would have done more than one year even Tiny Gallon would say that. “No, it hasn't turned out how I thought it would, but that's
