SVG: One And Done Rule Is Racist

[mastermind]

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.

I don’t care about management making bad decisions.

That’s their job.

I have no idea why people are caping for rich guys pockets in this thread.

In Europe they have no problem giving millions too teenagers

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.

Yeah and in some countries a grown man can have sex with a 14 year old legally you know what he's talking about smh.

What the fukk are you talking about breh???

The government isn't stopping people from playing in the NBA, the NBA is. You can still play professional basketball elsewhere. These are private entities y'all are complaining about. There is a clear opening in this market that no one wants, or is able, to take advantage of. The NBA not letting players in at 18 isn't some societal problem.

Why are you caping for teenagers getting paid though? That doesn't benefit you or any of us either. I'm arguing for seeing the best product on the court, and not having to watch these fukking kids stumble through their first couple of seasons trying to figure it out. Damn near 65% of this league is literally unwatchable.

I know it's not the government lol just think your argument wasn't.

Nah, people are tuning in for the Jersey.

You don’t need pro proespects in college for viewership, you need rivalries and teams that play together for years

This is why the 1 and done rule has damaged CBB beyond repair

People play pro sports to get money.... no use staying in college when it doesnt pay......

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.

yah my post wasnt very well explained tbh
i agree with what you are saying
i dont think the nba is racist by restricting the entry since it makes moentary sense to them
i think its that tho combined with the ncaa restrictive rules that is so stacked against the players and make it seem like the system is colluded against them

 

[Roman Brady]

Whats the one and done rule? Is it players from HS having to complete one mandatory year in college before being eligible for draft? Call me ignant but i was kind of fine with that rule. For one no one will ever beat bron on the youngest ever to reach this and that milestones. But on a serious note who wants a league overun by 18 yos from highschool never being associated with college. Bron is exceptional but what about a kwame brown, is it really worth it

See I only disagree with the execution of it,telling these kids they basically just need to go through the motions of going to college for a year. Which is basically to help the NCAA,and probably to help the NBA so they can better judge if a player is NBA level talent.

If they righteously had this rule set up to where it was in place to force these players to get a education that would be one thing. But its set up to help ncaa and nba,while not giving the player the oppurtunity to help themselves. I don't like teens being forced to make the decision of money vs education,when they have family pressure to think about as well. But the player and families should be allowed to make decisions based on greed and not the bigger picture,just like the nba and ncaa get to do with these players minds and bodies.



ANd i think SVG's racism claim is based on the fact that white people don't like seeing these young black men get money they don't feel these players deserve. Some how it makes cacs feel better if players go to college first,and THEN earn millions putting a ball in a hoop. Getting millions for putting a ball through a hoop with a highschool education though? Plus black bust get a lot more hate than white bust

the nba players union signed off on having to wait a year before going to the league. maybe the players should actually stick up for each other sometime. that "im in the league I don't care about future players" mentality that's rampant in weak unions like the nba and nfl

Its short sightedness by older financially strapped "vets"
They are scared of hell of missing one last payday so they punish new guys, even though overall rookie salaries raise the tide for everyone.
