Until the 1970's the NBA had a rule that no player could play in the NBA until he completed his 4 year college eligibility. A player
did not have to go to college for 4 years but had to wait until their eligibility was up. After his junior year in college Wilt
Chamberlain wanted to move on to the pros but since he was still eligible for college he spent what would have been his senior
year in college playing for the Harlem Globetrotters.

Nat Hickey was the coach of the Providence Steamrollers in 1947-48 in the old BAA the predecessor of the NBA. Providence was
an awful team and would finish the season with a 6-42 record. On January 28, 1948 just two days shy of his 46th birthday Nat
Hickey figured he had nothing to lose and put himself in a game. He was awful missing all 6 shots he took and he committed 5
personal fouls but he did make 2 of the 3 free throws he attempted.

Why did NBA ban High

schoolers from the NBA?

TrueHoop reader Emmett writes: "Not sure if this was brought up yet, but I just realized that all three of the serious
MVP candidates (KG, Kobe, and LBJ) made the jump directly from high school. I find that interesting, considering
the NBA's argument (and popular opinion) saying that college matures a player and makes him ready for the NBA."
A good time to link to something I have linked to many times in the past:Michael McCann's paper showing that, as a
class, players straight from high school enjoy more success, by common sense measures on and off the court, than
those with one, two, three, or four years of college.

Who owns the NBA?

Who owns the NBA? No one completely owns the NBA. It is not owned by a single company. It is shared between the
individual teams that make up the NBA. Each team owns a chunk of the league. This is seen as a positive ownership
as there are no secret interests of the owners and all of the member teams own an equal share so that they cannot be
advantaged or disadvantaged by owning more or less than another team.

Will they ever bring high

schoolers back to the NBA?
No they would not, it is now a law to bring it
back.

Is it a good idea?
No it is not a good idea because most of the
people that came from high school straight
to the nba are now all-starts they are once
going to be legends.

Do you agree with NBA AGE

LIMIT?
Yes because I think everybody should have
at least one year in college.

Can i create a new law stating

NBA AGE Limit?

What can we do to improve the

NBA AGE Limit?
What we can do to improve Nba age limit is
to let people from high school go to the Nba
but they also have to take 2 years of college
classes while they are in there.
