New NBA rules? Good or bad.

6 year contract max.
19 age restrictions for American Citizens.
18 age restrictions for foreigners.
Few more little kinks to work out.

What you guys think?

Personally, the age restriction should be 21 if you ask me. No kid strait outta highschool should get a contract for 60Mil. Thats just bullshit. My god, that would be like me being a millionaire right now.
Not to mention the 19 thing is bullshit. These kids are gonna go to college for 1 year, play ball, then bail for the NBA. Get the **** out with that shit. No coach is going to want a guarentee pick for the NBA on their team, cause it's only going to last one year.

They figure they don't need a goddamn education, cause they turn 18ish, get drafted in the NBA, and are set for life.

**** that.

So, which situation is the best. The NBA player who make millions a year but who can't tell his elbow from his arse, or me, who's going to have a 6 year university education, but who will be crippled by debts for the rest of his life.

Tough choice.

not to mention that if most of his life was focused on athletics, he will most likely drop out of college/not even attend...

I think they should make the limit 20, or 2 years out of college. That way we get to see the great players develope through are favorite college teams.

Amagine LeBron playing and leading Duke to a national championship. It's like part of a great players legacy, the college career.

Now players are skipping college and there are less white guys.

The NBA needs a race limit, thats what it really needs.

Nah, dude still keep the sweet black dunkers and throw in some more white superstars. Just to give us white guys some more props.

I mean think about it, the court is filled with blacks, and the stands are filled with white.

Traditionally Whites are more fond of whites than they are of blacks.

Look at what Manu Ginobili has done in San Antonio, he rivals Duncan for popularity. Not as good as Tim, but he's white so everybody loves him. NOT to mention Tim might be the best player in the NBA.

More good whites could do amazing things for the NBA, plus college basketball is very popular and if good players come from college it could draw more fans compared to unkown players making the jump from high-school.

They could set limits that arn't directly associated with race, but still play a role on limiting blacks from coming in.

Kinda like they are doing now.

They should change the rules, to all the black guys have to stay on posts, and the white guys get white hoods and shot guns.

Atleast with my idea, the NBA might be entertaining. And with more Asians it would be like "AH SO BASKETBALLZ LOL KEKE IN HOOP AH SO."

You know, if a basketball palyer doesn't ahve an education, that means less room for someone more deserving. What education do you need to play basketball? All you have to do is amaze all thsoe little black children with a few dunks, talk alota trash and pretend your something.

That is what basketball is, a boring sport.
