PS: I for one, don't mind high schoolers coming into NBA. David Stern and
other owners who sound concerned are the reason why high schoolers are
coming in early, after all they invited it with expansion.
Why this argument against basketball players coming in early, when in sports
like tennis coming early is the norm rather then the exception.
