In this world today, every kids dream is to make it out there city, to do something special they truly love, but it seems like it’s something always holding them back from overcoming their dreams. Well the question is what is possibly holding kids back from overcoming the perfect dream, and one of those things is the right to come out of highschool to play in the NBA instead of taking one year of college. Now I 'm not saying you shouldn’t go to college to play college basketball but I believe kids that are highly skilled should be able to go in the NBA without attending college, if they wanted to make the decision. To play basketball on the highest level, it takes hard work, time, and determination to make it in the NBA but a lot of people …show more content…

Now my thing is what’s the odds of getting hurt in college basketball and not being able to play in the NBA? You worked your whole life to be on the top of the world and now you 're going down hill, all because of a injury. That 's my whole point, if you just could have entered the draft straight out of high school, probably none of this never would have happened. Now you’re thinking “all my recruiters are gone” and my chances of living the perfect dream is dead now. The odds of getting injured and not being able to play basketball is a good 50 percent because either you can get hurt and not go through therapy because it’s difficult or don’t give up and come back even stronger. Also, you can lose recognition because what coach wants a player that is injured and has no hope in even coming back, and if the player do feel like they can come back, how mentally and quickly can you come back? One of my favorite basketball players Derrick Rose had so many injuries in the NBA that his home team Chicago Bulls traded him to the New York Knicks because AGAIN who wants a player that gets hurt ALL the time. But Derrick Rose had chances to get himself together although like college and high school players, they more likely have just one shot to prove there point to become a superstar because more likely there is somebody out in the world ready to take your spot. But like all adults say, it’s good to have a backup plan but it’s hard to accept that you can not do what you dreamed of doing

Is it equivocal for the NCAA to produce more than $1 billion and for the players, who are the ones who are generating majority of the revenue, to not get paid a single penny? This topic has been widely debated for the past few years, and in “Viewpoint: College Athletes Should Be Paid,” Raman Mama sets forward an argument in favor of the monetary payment of college athletes. The title of the article clearly demonstrates what the author’s intended goal is in writing this article and it seems as if the audience of the article is the general population. In this persuasion article, the author fittingly appeals to two of the three modes of persuasion: pathos and logos. The author appeals to pathos in discussion of the bankruptcy of many professional

For many years, people have been debating about whether sports teams for kids should have selective tryouts. Although some parents claim that their child has felt so defeated by an unsuccessful tryout that they don’t want to continue with the sport, this is not always what happens. I believe that exclusive tryouts should be held for children because they are extremely good for their mental health in three ways: tryouts teach kids humility, in that they aren’t always going to be selected, they help kids learn to work harder, and they boost kids’ confidence. The first reason why tryouts should be held is because they teach kids how to be humble, and that they are not always going to do everything as well as they want.

That’s why emotional maturity has a huge role of why high schoolers shouldn’t be able to go straight to the NBA after high school. All the freshmen, or high school athletes that became stars or do anything in the NBA league to make themselves successful, there are 10 times more players that don’t make the NBA. This 1-10 ratio is a reality shocker to most high school athletes because they think once they been drafted the hard part is done. Yet they’re wrong that’s only the beginning, there is much more than just being drafted into the NBA. There’s practices, games, off-season practices, charities, and other basketball commitments you have to participate in..

Did you know that depending on the sport, students who play sports in college most likely have less than a 2% chance of becoming professional athletes? At middle schools, high schools and colleges across the country, everyone is arguing over whether or not students with failing grades should be allowed to play sports. In my opinion, a good education is so very important for our country’s youth, especially the athletes. Not a lot of kids are good enough to play in the top college sports programs in the country. But even those who are, still have an astonishingly low chance at making the professional leagues.
