YOU should go to school...Kobe, KG, McGrady, Howard, Lebron. What do they have in Common? Each one went straight into the NBA out of high school and each has been very very successful while there. What about names like James Homer, Robert Rothbart, Maurice Shaw, Dorell Wright? Those names don’t sound familiar because they are high school kids who went straight to the NBA and weren’t successful. The media never talks about them. The article below gives a great look at the disadvantages of going straight to the NBA. Unfortunately the article wasn’t posted on ESPN or cbssports. It was written by a college professor. To the NBA’s credit the changed the rule so this can’t happen anymore, but they is still a lot of options for these kids not to go to college. Once again, this article gives great insight as to how themedia ony shows the success stories of the sports world. I find it interesting that people complain there isn’t enough good news in the news anymore. My advice? Read the sports section. This is a real issue in the NBA and more precautions need to be taken in order for those names above to be taken care of in the future.
