DAVID STERN’S RULES SUCKS …HE HAS TOO MUCH CONTROL AND IS TURNING THE NBA INTO FIGURE SKATING…….IF AN NBA TEAM FEELS A YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER IS READY FOR THE PROS AND IS GOOD ENOUGH THEN SCREW COLLEGE…KOBE , LEBRON, GARNETT, …ALL HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS TURNED PRO..NONE WERE 19 NONE DID A YEAR IN COLLEGE…WHERE WOULD THE NBA BE WITHOUT THEM RIGHT NOW?…. HE BETTER BE CAREFUL BEFORE ALL THE YOUNG TALENT LEAVE THE U.S.A FOR GOOD…COLLEGES USE THESE PLAYERS TO MAKE MILLIONS AND GIVE THEM WHAT,TUITION?…COLLEGE COACHES GET MILLIONS ..PLAYERS ZERO…MY POINT IS YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK TO SCHOOL… YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GO BACK AND CAPTURE A DREAM.

I heard the family has made arrangements for schooling to keep him progressing towards earning his G.E.D. So lets just say he blows out his knee in a year but has made a quarter of a million playing in Europe, take that money and go back to school. To me, it seems like a win win. What am I missing?

He is just 17. Professional sports careers can end in a moment. He can go and make money and still go to school if he desires.

It’s not the ideal situation, but everybody needs money.

I guess education is kind of not on his mind huh? No college studies for him.

You can’t make a law saying that someone can’t pursue their dreams. Tennis players turn pro when they’re in their early teens. Basketball players in other countries turn pro as teenagers as well. I don’t see anything wrong with what he’s doing. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, but I think it’s fine in his situation.

Doesn’t matter. He wasn’t going to go to college for an education, anyway, so now that’s one more scholarship a university can offer to a kid who wants to be there.

US law should be put in place to prevent this sort of exploration of our youth. What will happen if he blows out his knee while overseas to the point where he can no longer play? Will he be left on his own in Europe or will they provide transportation back to the US?

Yeah no doubt….can’t wait to see how he does in Europe. Jenning’s numbers were far from impressive.
