Over the past six years in the NBA there has been a new type of style and attitude in the game of basketball. Much is due to the fact that too many kids are going straight to the NBA from high school. At first it was accepted to go to the NBA in such a way because the kids that came from high school actually were talented enough to play with other caliber athletes. Now it seems these teenagers, good or bad, are going to NBA just to collect. Most of the people jumping ship are mediocre and cannot handle the physical play of the sport. The NBA should prohibit the players to come right from high school because the kids can ruin their lives, not achieve a spot on a team, and make the sport look bad.
When these kids skip college for the NBA they are losing an education beyond high school. Perhaps they get severe
. . .
Say they don’t get drafted and don’t get signed to a team. The attitudes that have been brought onto the court are atrocious. They go from rags to riches in a matter of months and go and spend all of their money. These kids think that just because they have come right from high school they are better than most other players.
Also with more and more high school players coming to the NBA there are even more foreign athletes joining the league. Now it will be even harder to get into the NBA now than it was before. If the NBA creates the rule they will look forward to a better playing game with less to worry about. What are they going to do? Sure they can go to college but they can’t play basketball. By going to college more people playing basketball will have a future beyond the NBA. Not only do these basketball players need to prove what they need to prove on the college courts but also on their education. So when these high school players declare for the draft, they become ineligible to play at college. If these players would have gotten college educations then they might have a profession after basketball that pays well. With competition coming from all over the world these days, a kid coming out of high school needs to think differently about his future.
