What Say You?: Should The Age Minimum Be Changed in the NBA

Michele Roberts 3

“I’m adamantly opposed to [raising the age minimum]. I’ve been practicing law for 30 years.  One of the beauties of being in that job is that I can practice until I lose my mind or die.  That is not the case with athletes. You have a limited life to make money as a basketball player. Anything that limits those opportunities is distressing to me.  I view [the age minimum] as just another device that serves to limit a player’s ability to make a living.”

So said NBPA Executive Director Michele Roberts on changing the minimum age to play in the NBA to 20.  What say you?
