yea thas fucked up, my mans derek was about 22 get drafted, next yyear when we graduate...sucks fa him

I dont see the pros in this rule

Just look at Lebron, he jumped from high school straight to the pros, and that was a positive thing for african americans across the usa (because if Lebron among others can do it, then theres hope for everyone)

I'm dissapointed at this rule, but they aalways changin the rules these days to make it more marketable and more exciting when you watch the game...

Shits not like the old school no more, thats whack.

__________________

for every Lebron, there are a million Kwame Brown's, not to mention the kids that DONT even get drafted and than they cant play in college because of it, and most dont even have a college to go to b/c they were relyin on gettin drafted....... i think its a prety good rule...... the only downside is if u get a lebron who is DEF. ready comin outa h/s..... but theres gonna be maybe one of those every 2 years, who can jump straight into the NBA and be an all star.... and anyways, they can just pull a carmello

Good rule. If you go to college and earn a degree before going pro, and you get injured to the point where you can't play, you'd be able to move on and get a career. Yeah, you can also get a degree after leaving the NBA, but it would be best to get your education beforehand. Through your time at college, you could find a path of life you find more suitable than the NBA, and save yourself the injury altogether.

Ya, this rule just makes it so that everyone has common sense. If you are good enough to be drafted out of highschool, you can easily get a scholarship to any college in the US. Then you can get a degree so in case something happens (injury, pregnating a girl, etc...) you've got something to fall back on and make a living with. How it is racist, I don't know. It is trying to get more people to go to college, which is what the US needs. We need more intelligent and qualified people doing jobs.

you really dont understand college athletics do you? lol, most kids who would have gotten drafted are just going to go one year then get drafted, which means no degree, and during that one year they arent made to do enough academics to find a "path of life"... they got tutors and shit...


what about Darius Miles? he was planning on going to college, but couldnt pass the SAT's (yes, you CAN fail them lol) and couldnt get into college and therefore entered the draft. should you really have to be booksmart to play professional basketball? i think not... just because its become a standard in today's society for people to go to college...

I do understand college athletes, a lot more than you think. I am aware that some of them do not finish their college tenure, but I am also aware that some do. I've been around college basketball my entire life, and have seen quite a few college athletes complete their academic tenure and get drafted soon after.

no shit... that was a whole lot of mumbo jumbo bullshit lol... i know "quite a few" players graduate and get drafted, but they did that before the rule, so i dont see how that helps your argument...

So you think that since this rule has been adopted by the NBA, players will stop graduating college before going pro?

The young kids are the reason the NBA got trounced in the '04 Olympics.

LMAO, who the hell says this is racist? I agree with 9th and Mrtyr about the pluses of going to college instead of straigh to the NBA in case of injury. Plus, it may give hope to the people like Carmelo said, but it's also FALSE hope. If they ain't got good enough grades and try and think they'll just get into the NBA right after HS, .....and then don't, their not going to be in college and will resort to selling drugs or whatever else it may take to survive for them. In more ways then one, it's not even CLOSE to being racist, they're just realizing that the kids need a fuckin reality check as to what's probably going to happen, instead of giving them that false, fleeting hope.

I wish the music industry could do something similar. -_-
