> best ... basketball players can earn a market salary by turning pro after high school
Not actually true, at least directly. They're currently required to play at least one year in NCAA, and the NBA commissioner is advocating for two years.
- ben_jones 10y agoYou're right for the most part, but there are a few exceptions for basketball which are becoming more popular. International players can play professionally as early as 16 and then immigrate over. A few top US prospects have also gone overseas @ 18 for 6mo/1yr to bypass the NCAA restriction and start playing as early as 19.
- mobilefriendly 10y agoIt is funny, it was once true but the NBA added the year. As you get older the stuff you know becomes incorrect but you don't know it is wrong...factual atrophy.
