Jermaine Oneal is the perfect example why there should be age limit of 20 in NBA he still acts like a imature fool. To bring up racism is wrong. Everybody has to go to school for couple years and be certain age to accomplish and be what they want t in life. Especially for that kind of money. I look at playing in college basketball like going to law school or med school or whatever school to learn and mature. 20 years old is a good age in my opinion.

I think Jermain was talking like that because 75% of the NBA is African-Americans. I dont really care what the age limit is as long as the player makes the NBA more exciting. I think the NBA is going downwards than what it used to be, I dont know think this is the whole reason, but I think it has a little bit to do with it.

Who the Hell is Jermaine to be talking this shit

Nobody wants to hear what he has to say anyway :twisted: Some of these NBA players should just play basketball and not preech so much stupid stuff. I love when racism comes up in discussions. I laugh my ass off, give me a break

Your making 15 mil a year to play basketball, but thats not good enough WOW hes making more than 50% of people who have gone to college for 10 years.

there shouldnt be an age limit in the nba. WHY? because if they really want to restrict the kids jumping to the pros, it is simple, don't draft them! teams keep drafting these kids, and of course what kid isnt going to take the money....if you were one of these high school kids and right now could go to the nba and make 3 million over 3 yrs, wouldn't you do it? college can always come later, most of the players oging to college don't even graduate until after they turn pro anyways if at all...not to mention what happens if your one ticket out of the projects for you and your family is basketball, and you turn down the guaranteed money to go to college and then blow out a knee? having the high schoolers go to college isnt going to make them smarter, they won't pass anyways, oneal wouldnt be any smarter had he gone to college, he would have made the same remark.
