I think the age limit is a good thing. And of course it will hurt the black male. Why? Because I'm willing to bet the white kids who come out of high school don't live in the same areas or lifestyle the black males do. Living in the porjects, playing on the playground, going to high school and playing ball. Coasting the way through highschool simply because their career is on the line of some teacher or school says you can't play ball anymore because you can't make grades. The projects and the hood is a story that goes along with ALOT of black athletes. Is there somthing wrong with that? Absolutley not.
Black athletes, mainly NBA players, are superior athletes, it's a no wonder these kids like LEbron come out of high school at 6'8" built like a mac truck. It's not a miracle the NBA teams wants these kids, it's the right thing to do. HOwever, what happens when Lebron breaks his leg, has a career ending knee problem. Do you think Lebron, with his Hummers and all went to every class, did every book report, every science project, every piece of homework?
When 90% of the high school players that enter the NBA from high school are black, you don't need a cencus study to tell you an age limit will force these kids with no educations, lacking reading or comprehension skills, or just general ability to learn somthing to go to college. When they can't attend a college because they can't learn, they don't get into the NBA with an age limit. It's common sense, it's not racism. J. O'Neal needs to shut his mouth.
