Is a 20 year old age limit good for the NBA?

(1/5) > >>

eS El Duque:
They were sayin on ESPN.com that they're thinking of changing the age limit to 20. So no more highschoolers coming straight into the NBA.

I personally don't like this, but I see why they would put an age limit up. So we wont have immature NBA players getting themselves into trouble...but sometimes players like Lebron, Garnett, Kobe etc come along blow people away and show more class than their older teammates (well, maybe not Kobe LOL).

Thoughts?


Oh and I found this on ESPN, the awards of the NBA all-star game http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/050223

The Vince Neil Award for "Worst comeback"
Did anyone else notice that the NBA brought back the same four events for All-Star Saturday as the ones that fizzled in Los Angeles last year? Back by unpopular demand! If they don't incorporate H-O-R-S-E or a Teammate Halfcourt Shot within the next five years, I'm going to take somebody in the NBA office hostage.

By the way, I was complaining to my friend Matt about this, only because he works for the NBA and I'm always trying to brainwash NBA employees to listen to my ideas, just in case they run into David Stern in a men's room or something and say, "Hey David, heard a great idea ... " Anyway, when I mentioned my idea for Teammate Halfcourt Shot -- two teammates trying to make as many halfcourt shots as possible in 90 seconds, as a thinly-veiled excuse to get some of the superstars involved in a Saturday event -- Matt shook his head and said that it was ridiculous. That led to this exchange:

Me: You're telling me that if Shaq and Wade needed to make five halfcourt shots in 90 seconds to beat Duncan and Ginobili for the title, you would turn the channel before they started shooting?

Matt (thinking): Well, no. Of course not.


lol, they should do that

white Boy:
20 age limit is good, i agree

Rampant:
i agree. While there maybe good high school players, i dont think they should go straight to the NBA. Send there ass to college for a couple years.

QCDutch:
true... even if they are great players, they arent ready for lives as a professional athlete at 18 y/o
