Slam Dunk judges should be past winners moving forward.
past winners should also be slam dunk judges to make it fair.
or guys who can actively dunk. like some of these guys in these street dunk competitions.
@@johnnyboi331 That's ... what he just said...
John Flanagan and water is wet too
I bet Zach Lavine would have gave Aaron a 9 as well
If kids can go to the army Marines Navy air Force. Then to war I think they can go play basketball....
In the military there is discipline, structure, 100 percent accountability and multiple weeks of transforming a civilian into a soldier, airman, sailor & marine. If you give an 18 year 2 million dollars and turn him aloose in the world he had better be mature.
@@paulsilas9070 exactly. Brooks gave a horrible comparison.
And drink a beer
@@paulsilas9070 you dont trust 18 year olds with 2 mill but your fine if they vote, seems weird considering one only effects the individual and one effects everyone...
@@paulsilas9070 I get that there's plenty of training, but you can turn your own last sentence around and say: "If you give a 17 year old an assault weapon and turn him loose in foreign countries tasked with making split second decisions about whether or not to kill people, he had better be mature."
I feel like the stakes and responsibility are a little lower for a new NBA player. I don't care how important anyone thinks even the biggest game is, it's not as important as choosing if you should take a life or not.
Emoni Bates is the #1 high schooler regardless of class. So he was only 15 and was superior to every upper classmen out there. I can't wait when Emoni reaches 19.
I am better than him
What about Mikey Williams
vskillz96 Mikey ain’t got such size like emoni
4:25 dang rachel was not gonna let him have another word lol
I lost it when i saw that
America is the only country where college athletics is huge, every other country has a professional developmental structure for their sports
He right about emoni bates
Everybody knows emoni bates is the next kd
theres only one KD, stop comparing unproven players to HOF's
Let’s see how he is once he has millions of dollars.
As long as they 18 and have a high school diploma shouldn’t matter. Straight to making the big money like it should be.
I graduated at 17, as long as they graduate should be the rule
Exactly! No mo talk!
It does matter bro , they have to be Great Players to make it
My 44 Face-Off so why take away their option to make it?
I don't see what's the big deal 1yr of college is??, in the NFL college players have to wait 3
Because an 18 yr old playing in the nfl would get killed lol
Football is a Physical sport
Uncle perk shouting out Emoni Bates 💯
Emoni just dropped 63 and 21 lol
Odilon Rwabukamba FR he’s a demon 🗣
Only if they are good enough. I’m all for it but most of the young guys now a days need at least 1 year in college.
Q Sosa yeah Zion was good enough
The amount of transcendent players that came straight out of HS is very small. Tbh I think they just need to work on making the NCAA less exploitive
hahaha. ... the stupidity is strong amongst these comments and replies ...
One year makes a lot of difference!! G league is a joke tho because who really plays in the g league and makes it to the nba! I rather have them go overseas then the gleague. Who cares about the age! Let 80% of those kids ruin their careers
Most of them really need to pack on muscle but skill wise they’re ready
Top 10 NBA players from high school:
Honorable Mentions: J.R. Smith & Josh Smith
10). Jermaine O'Neal
9). Tyson Chandler
8). Monta Ellis
7). Louis Williams
6). Amar'e Stoudamire
5). Dwight Howard
4). Tracy McGrady
3). Kevin Garnett
2). LeBron James
1). Kobe Bryant
I'd put Dwight above T-Mac. His playoff record hurts his legacy
Twizz The Whiz Kid na lbj 1st
Twizz The Whiz Kid Lebron is 1.. he came in and won ROY
LeBron is hands down no 1
Swap Bron and Kobe. Bron went to Cleveland and was borderline dominant year one. Kobe it took a season or so to become a beast. BUT if I'm not mistaken Kobe is the youngest NBA all star starter to date. Could be wrong but I think he is.
Colleges gone have a Fit 😂😂😂
Until college starts paying these guys the answer will always be yes.
How is this the first time noticing Perkins left ring finger is crooked 3:50
Emoni Bates is the same age as my youngest brother born in 2004. He just turned 16 two days after Kobe passed away and same birthday as Jerry Buss. ESPN needs to show more Emoni. No Emoni, no money.
17 yold play in the NHL which is 10x more physical then soft NBA.
That's why hockey players wear armor cause they tough? stfu
Emoni bates goes to my high school I was a senior Ypsilanti Lincoln he was a freshman and won a state championship he put Lincoln on the map I agree this kid could go straight to the league he is very talented he can shoot 3 like no other best of luck to him
How about the players association taking a former player who had a great career to be assigned mentors for all new players coming into the league especially if they are straight out of high school. They can be assigned as a non-paid advisor for at least 1 to 2 years. Also a trust should be established as well. Let's say if they are a top pick at least 30% is put up for 3 to 5 years in a interest account. This way if they blow through their money some is leftover so they are not on ESPN 30/30 broke special.
Rachel: “the NBA needs to be responsible for teaching kids how to be adults”
Yeah agreed it’s a partnership between the players, owners, and NBA. Without the players there would be no NBA.
Shouldn't the parents be tho?
REDSP1R1T PS4 i mean after they get into the NBA after high school they are most likely to be separated from their parents
Only thing I think is funny we don't talk about baseball hockey soccer were you can go professional out of highschool just give the a choice if they want to go bro or go to school if you decide to go to school you have to do two years it's not that hard to do
Are you talking about soccer in North America or Europe because in Europe they're trained by academies run by pro teams
@@bri12345ification doesn't matter European sports you can be a pro as teenages academics or not they're pros making money giving the opportunity to and choice which American basketball and football players don't even get a choice
Yes. Next question.
Yes. You cannot control another person’s life just because the NCAA benefits from it immensely and that young man might go to college classes for a couple months.
I'm not even thinking of Zion or Ja right now. The most anticipated #1 pick since LeBron will really be Emoni Bates. Not Zion. But Zion is special. Man, I hope my Clippers can get a pick in the lottery to get Emoni in 2023.
What Rachel said times infinity and beyond, people want to name Kobe, LeBron, KG, and T-Mac people forget Lenny Cooke, Korleone Young, James Lang, Leon Smith, DeAngelo Collins, Ousmane Cisse, and other high school players that got drafted and didn't last past their rookie contract.
If you can go to the Army at 18, you can enter the draft out of high school. That, or go to the g league for one year. Have a sense playing with grown men mentally/physically
Yes they should
If you’re allowed to sign up for the military at 18, then the NBA shouldn’t even be up for discussion! It’s just basketball
I agree with the redhead here. Players out of high school should have plenty of guidance and supervision. That said, why should a kid risk injury in a college when he could be in the NBA set for life at first signing. College is too much of gamble in that light.
Oppotunity cost is significantly higher for a player not able to go from hs to nba.
I received an academic scholarship to go to college and made money from several businesses while I was there. But you're telling me an athlete is not allowed to get paid for their likeness even though they make money for the school (something I did not)
They should have it where NCAA doesn’t strip eligibility if they don’t get drafted
Yess
Yes
I believe there should be a rule where you either have the choice of going to the NBA right after high school or do two years of college.
I don't understand ESPN keeps showing Bronny highlights? I WANT *EMONI* *BATES!!* I remember first watching Zion 3 years ago thanks to Oprahsideverson. This kids feels like KD and PG13 w/ more athleticism.
Yes ahh those were good times...
Not everyone has the body and athleticism of zion most of these kids need college to put on weight and muscle and i think that’s well needed , No offense but Most of them are playing really bad teams in highschool so a jump from that to the Pro’s will really hurt them
Yes.
Sure..... Let people make their own choices. Life 101
Problem is college game suffers.
Also for every 1 who makes it, 300 others dont and lose eligibility.
Lastly, 18 yr olds arent ready for the life. The drinking. The going out. The freedom. Etc.
And i am someone who made that jump. Thankfully i got a law degree (plus 2 other bachelors)
Yes!
People act like forcing a kid to go to college 1 year is going to make a difference. If he knows leaving High School he's already NBA ready he's not going to take 1 year of college seriously. He's going to coast through the year.
Putting past Dunk contest winners as judges is not a great idea because if someone does an average dunk and they give a low score they will be viewed as salty even if the fans like the dunk
They can play one year over seas and make money. How can you really judge a high schooler playing against 16-18yr olds as ready to play in the NBA. Any kid with a 40in vertical can dominate in high school.
The Emoni Bates take by Kendrick aged well.
They should be mandated to do a few years free for a university where dozens of dorks are paid 6-figures to coach and consult and take good care of their families.
The Nba could make a rule where if your drafted out of high school you go straight to the g league for a year and still get paid
I don’t understand the one and done rule. I think they need to let high school players go straight to the league
It lets them get a degree if basketball doesn't work out i think they need to go at least 2 years.
@@jesusgeek7680 in basketball a player only has to go one year and in football its 3
@@jesusgeek7680 how do they get a degree in one year please explain that
YES
If a seventeen year old can fight a war he could go play basketball if he want
You have to be 18
Overseas, if you have the ability, you can go pro regardless of age. This goes on in soccer as well as basketball over there. Idk why we can't adopt the same model.
Agreed. Hockey, Tennis, Baseball, Golf all allow it if you have the skill. Protecting NCAA basketball is stupid.
You don't make rules based on exceptions. The NBA draft is a 3-5 player draft lacking any real quality passed the first round. Now introduce high school kids the quality drops even more and players will throw away the chance to develop in college and will not be able to handle the NBA.
It will never happen again to many young black youths took care of their families coming out of high school but Coco Gauf can play worldwide tennis at 15 years old
1 and done has hurt the college game.
NBA Age Restrictions on high school kids is Absolutely wrong it should be the kids choice not the association
Perkins a real og foreal this guy said he was so excited he drove 30 hours to Boston didn't know about shipping cars
No you should have to have a year in college I wanna see Emoni play for Michigan
In Aussie Rules nearly 99% of players come out of high school straight in to the league, Most if not all will live with a Player/coach/official of the team they are drafted to. This helps with life transition as they are away from family but still being watched and looked after.
Rachel on point today.
I think that we should set up a tournament. Like the top 25 or 50 HS players in the country break them into regional teams and have them scrimmage. No trophy or championship but a gaureenteed draft pick for 5 players that play the best during that tournament. That way those that are truly NBA ready will stand out from the crowd and be easy to find. Everyone else can try again as long as theyre still in HS. Or take the one and done route thru collage.
As if the guys from College aren’t far enough from being nba ready as it is... there’s too many guys who end up using their rookie season as some kinda pre season , let them stay 2 years in college in fact
No because it’ll be terrible if teams draft Busts from high school
Rachel Nichols dropping bars. Trust
ONLY in Black Sports do players have to go to school and make people who hate them rich.. But in baseball and hockey u can drop out at 16 and join the minors
What they should do is make basketball more diverse.
@@jay1jayf white Americans can't compete... They spent their entire life Entitled... Not to mention they have god awful lateral movement.
@Samir Malla Bryce Harper dropped out of school on his 16th birthday and went str8 to the minors🤣🤣 good lord u white people are CLUELESS
iONLYrobWHITE DrugDealers Do you believe that people of all races are of equal value? Do you believe that all races should ultimately be treated equally? Genuine question.
The reason why the one and done rule exists is because of the NBAPA not wanting 18 year olds taking veterans jobs. The three-year rule in college football should exist because it would be stupid to send kids to a physical grown man league like the NFL. I wish people would like you would stop acting as if there are gates on other sports. Black people can do anything they put their minds to just like any other race.
People talk about baseball and hockey drives as if it's a guarantee that you make it. Big money goes to the top tier prospects. In baseball, you're probably less likely to make it to the big leagues than any other sport.
There was a big wave of high schoolers going into the NBA and a lot of them failed. Perkins himself was a high school draftee. KG and LeBron have been the best and longest tenured high schoolers.
LaMelo Ball is going to be drafted this summer. About 3 years ago, even Luke Walton saw more potential in him than Lonzo. Watch the Knicks try to get him and fail in the lottery again.
The problem is why do we consider 17 or 18 years old as kids.....if people can't be self responsible by age 18, there is something wrong with the education system
Shouts out to emoni bates... my ypsilanti folk stand up
This would be better for college basketball as well. Better talent
Yea. I had a full ride to Fullerton for baseball and I ended up taking a minor league contract instead
You were in a white Dominated sport... it's different rules for black Dominated sports..
iONLYrobWHITE DrugDealers SMH dude he's supporting the argument
Id be totally fine with 1&done if its the g-league instaed of college. Still get that transitional acclimation period but the player would be getting paid.
NBA should follow the Australian Football League. Players can join at age 18 (legally an adult in Australia), and clubs then provide support in helping players seek education. (However in the NBA, I don't think many players would need an education due to the vast amounts of money they make.)
It's basketball, not football. They can either ball or they can't. Simple. Zion waiting another year clearly didn't teach him how to walk properly.
Absolutely yes or make the college rule 2 years. This 1 and done rule is a waste of time.
They should have an NBA combine to see if the high schoolers are good enough to declare
All the players that came from high school to the NBA were basketball star ⭐️ or super star 🌟.. So yes!! high school players should be allow,if they can play at NBA level.
Absolutely Not
The legue is better because guys go to College or Overseas. The Legue was terrible when everyone was comming out of high school and the percentage of guys that didn't make it was far too high to validate the guys that were ready. Also the average NBA carer is long enough to justify the players that spend less then a few years in the NBA.
Ultimately the Rule doesn't benefit the NBA.
At 18 you're a grown man. Decide if you're mature enough and keep it moving.
And why not have the high schooler live with a older player for 2 years
Yeah but rookie contracts should be longer than 4 or 5 yrs especially since there’s a lot of players that are reaching their full potential after that 4/5 yr period
Emoni would start
Get them to spend a year in the Australian NBL League. The defense is solid and there are some good players down there!!! Lamelo and RJ got a lot out of it
Slam dunk judges should be from past slam dunk winners moving forward
Emoni, Jalen Green, DJ Daishen etc
If they are good enough to go straight to the NBA and the NBA team willing to draft them then what is the problem.
1 an done a gank....
If you’re gonna have perk on, have someone who will balance out his outlandishness, not another clown
The reason I'm liking *EMONI* *BATES* is because he's already 6'9 and has the handles of his idol, Kobe. Zion is only 6'6 and heavy. Luka is 6'7 and not much athleticism. Ja is 6'3 & thin. Emoni Bates looks like the REAL NEXT GOAT.
I'd say no. Roughly 95% of the high school players need to learn how to play winning team basketball at the college level before taking the next step which is the NBA.
The college level is far greater than the highschool level.
The NBA level is far far far far greater than the highschool & college level.
Let me put it this way; You shouldn't go from elementary school basketball to college basketball. Correct? Just like you shouldn't go from highschool basketball to NBA basketball.
I predict that the NBA will let them and do something similar to what baseball does. With the only different being 2 years if they go to college instead of 3.
Yes. Bye.
Jalen green should be in the league right now.
YES‼‼‼
Yea they should only if there game ready Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Amar'e stoudemire, but Kobe's drive is to none the league is young if you're game is ready then you should have that option
I’d have to say no the lge just recovering from that era and finally gaining momentum
If the NBA stops the one and done rule nonsense, players who don’t do well coming out of high school straight to the pros can go to the g league, which will expand the more and more players come, more revenue for the NBA
I'm yeah. they grown
