The previous article Isaac posted close to a month ago was . That thread poses some serious and deep issues. Issues that highlight significant flaws in american culture. There is a link there also to the original article ITA.

Truth where is that quote from? It would be good to see the rest of that article to see their full argument. From memory there was a similar discussion on NBA age limit not long ago.

would you lose any players because of such a limit. How many of these players that go straight to the NBA wouldn't get the required academics to attend a college. Of course Europe is an option, but are the euro clubs going to be scouting the high schools.?.?.

Consider this - if there is an age limit on players entering the NBA, kids would know they can't skip school to train etc. would that impact on the quality of players entering the NBA. More pressure on their grades, less on the game (at a high school level).

I think that players like Tmac, Jermaine ONeal, Zach Randolph, Tyson Chandler etc would have came into the NBA as much better and complete players had they gone to collage and would of probably became the dominated players that the are today much quicker. But on the other had there is players like Amare, Garnett, Lebron that when they came into the league they had an impact straight away. That very really happens especially considering the amount of players coming straight out of high school now days. I think that they would have been a lot better doing what Carmelo did go to collage for just one year but I guess if the amount of money was shoved in my face I dont think that I would be able to say no either. On the age limited I think that it is a good idea in a majority of cases jumping straight to the NBA is probably not the best thing for them but then there are the exceptions lebron anyone? So guess that Im kind of one the fence with it in most cases yes (its a good idea) but in those one or two special cases no its not a good idea holding back those players that are at that level already.
