SVG: One And Done Rule Is Racist

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

Obviously the NCAA don't believe in that or they never would've made the rule. People ain't trying to see teams like Rhode Island pass the ball for 28 seconds every possession to try to get the perfect shot

NCAA didn't make the rule, the NBA did.

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

You can in the NBA too.

The key is not signing with an agent or a pro contract.

Once you sign with an agent or that, you lose NCAA eligibility.

I forgot about that.

 

[BillBanneker]

The players gotta agree to it though. That's a collectively bargained thing, and I'm not sure the older vets are gonna be so quick to lose their jobs over this.

Yeah, folks are forgetting that the NBPA cosigns the agreement and don't want younger, cheaper players coming in and taking slots.

This is an NBA rule which a lot of NBA players actually support because they don't want to lose their veteran minimum spots to youngins.

Oh I know. I just wanted to throw that out there. NBA completely slides on the blame for their rule while the ncaa takes all the heat fir something they got 0 to do with

Think about what you're saying from a logical perspective. Of course there's evidence that shows that... because if you're coming straight from high school (or have that opportunity/ability) it means you were a better player or had higher potential in the first place than the guy who went four years. Nobody is staying in college because they WANT to, they're doing it because their skills necessitate it. Do you think the players who succeeded right out of high school would have been worse players or had lesser careers (outside of the obvious possible longevity difference) had they entered the league at 21 as opposed to 18?

And of course there isn't an arbitrary age where you're "ready", because everyone is different, but using that logic, why not just let in kids who are 13 if teams are willing to draft them? There's a greater chance of players being ready at 21 than 18, that's just a fact. Players generally speaking get better as you age, gain experience, and physically mature until you plateau.

If NBA teams think a 13 year old is ready to play in the NBA, then why not? I am opposed to any age limit in professional sports.

And that’s exactly the point, and what I said in my post that you quoted and then decided to agree with me. Players who enter the nba either after one year or after high school were high end prospects. Why let them waste their time and prevent them from earning a salary?

I'm confused about that little snippet you posted. From that it looks like Aldridge is saying one and done success rate is better than out of high school, but not that much better, and he's also saying that they made up that excuse.

Very interesting theory either way. If true then the rule was indeed racist as I originally said.

the entire article broke it down from HS, one and dones, and upper class men and his reasoning is nba teams don’t want to hand out a 3rd big contract to players. (He used KG as an example)

The article actually showed HS players were the most successful.


The article is off the Internet because nba.com took it down.

I'll be honest. From a pure basketball/NBA standpoint, I got no problem with an age limit. In fact, I wouldn't have an issue with it being 21. Most of these kids coming into the league simply aren't ready and take mad long to develop, and just from a fan's perspective I'd rather ready made players come in. The NBA is a private enterprise, so let them do whatever the hell they want.

The issue I have is only with the NCAA and their slave labor. Burn that motherfukker down to a crisp. Or hopefully these kids either start looking at their other options (international) or some American businessman/men come together and take advantage of an opportunity to create another league on some ABA shyt where these guys end up with an avenue to get paid to play in their league.

yeah you have a great point actually
nba is using the ncaa to gain information advantage on the players for free.

 

[concise]

Players take time to develop in every league. Why is there an arbitrary rule limiting what NBA and NFL players can do? You guys are reaching for a reason that's universal in every sport, even shyt like car racing rookies need time to develop, but you're using that same reason to substantiate why the two blackest leagues by far have to have a arbitrary rule but all the other sports don't? Man gfto out of here with this feigning obliviousness shyt, either that or you're stupid.

you quote me for? My post has nothing to do with what you're talking about.

and water is wet


also sad to save nikkas doing backflips because a crakkka states the obvious, SVG knows how to play y'all

If this dumb nikka isnt the embodiment of the basement militant nikka club on here

White wife
Immediately starts twisting people's reactions to make it look like we're tapdancing c00ns prasing massa ( when people are ACTUALLY posting: SVG is right. that's it)



Militant in the coli streets, all lives matter in the sheets.
You deserve your WOAT banner

 

[hood b. goode]

The audacity of typing "crakka" on the internet when your wife is white

 

[MustafaSTL]

They so blatant with it too. Bomani was talking about how hockey and baseball players are allowed to sign with agents while basketball and football players cant. Like how more blatant can you get

wait........what?

College baseball and hockey players can have agents?

Really?

K but that's on the kid.
Simply put the kid deserves a chance to enter the free market to determine the worth of his skills.especially since the skill set is only valid for a shorty period

It's on the kid?

The future of the entire family is on the kid too,when you have many of these kids coming from poverty. So its not just on the kid when they are feeling pressure from all of their family and friends at age 17/18. You have to try to protect these kids from people who would try to influence their decisions.The rule itself isn't racist imo,just the execution of it.

I will say its unfair to pretend like the NCAA is any more uncaring of players future than many of their highschools were,or any more than the NBA will be. You paid but will throw them to the curb as soon as they are bust. Who's to say that was more valueable than what a 4 year degree and college experience could have done for them long term. We don't have a large enough sample size of straight to NBA guys versus college,to say which is more damaging to young black men. I understand the racism aspect of it,which doesn't change even when players go to college. But I can't call which side has the best interest of black men at heart,I would say neither really.

Because what's good for the top ten players shouldn't supersede what's good for the other players who aren't ready and need development. And it's not even really about the players themselves, it's more about the guys drafting the players. It's more about protecting management from themselves. I'm talking about it strictly from a basketball perspective; socially I may be opposed to denying adults from earning an income, but for one, it's not that (you can play basketball somewhere else) and two, I find the league itself more important than the individual players. I don't really enjoy watching teams tank for players who aren't even going to be real contributors to winning basketball until (at the very least) the end of their rookie contracts. And like I said, it's not like the players are getting worse by not being allowed into the league earlier, if anything the ones who aren't really that good are being exposed.

 

[MJ Truth]

This isn't the right argument though. You're not allowed to play in the NBA at 18, you're allowed to earn money playing basketball though.
