And I’m talking about his high school class.

When you look all the dudes his age like
JJ Reddikk
Melo
Bosh
Ray Felton
Andre Iguodala

Were all class of 02. And it makes sense he came in at 18 but really turned 19 that same year. While dudes like Kobe and Bynum came in at 17 and turned 18

How did Melo do a whole year of College and he was just getting out of high school:dwillhuh:

Lebron had a later birthday

Carmelo was born May 1984
Chris Bosh was born March 1984
Reddikk June 1984
Iggy Jan1984
Felton June 1984

Lebron was born Dec 1984

Same draft outta HS
Travis Outlaw SEP 1984
Kendrick Perkins Nov 1984

They wouldn't be in the same class depending on which age you first enroll in Pre-K/Kindergarten.

Guys up top turned 18 last half of their senior years (01-02)

Guys born later turned 18 the first half of their senior years (02-03)

He graduated when he was 18, which is common among seniors that graduate high school.

Thread doesn’t make sense.

He went into his senior year 17, turned 18 in Dec, and then graduated. There is nothing out of the ordinary here.

His birthday is at the end of the year OP.

This question is low key dumb as fukk and ridiculous though, if you went to school in America. The answer is obvious. I'm just assuming you're a foreigner and they do it differently overseas.

This.

Then you got exceptions like Kobe who didn't turn 18 until like two months before his rookie season started.

Zion turned 19 in the summer after duke/before his training camp started.

Depends on the date of the year you're born and age limits of the school district you're in.

That’s what I’m thinking. Kobe and Andrew Bynum were both 17 when they were drafted into the league.

And you were probably the youngest in your class every year of school.

My birthday is late October, my parents didn't want me to stay in preschool another year so they put me in private school, so I was always younger than everyone. I had a friend in class that was born two days after me, but the year before me.

"Technically" I was supposed to be in the class after me.

I'm a month older than Bron. However, I started K in California at the age of 4 going on 5 and ended up graduating from high school here in Ohio at 17. If I had started K-12 here in Ohio, I would've graduated a year later.
