How does it feel to play NBA with two sons?
Anyway, James has a chance. According to the progress of the negotiation between NBA and the players’ union, the age threshold for the rookie to enter NBA is expected to be reduced from 19 to 18, which means that high school students have the opportunity to helicopter NBA again, just like Kobe, garnett was, of course, like James himself.
Yes, the possibility of James playing with his two sons is still theoretical, but at least it exists. His eldest son graduated from high school next summer brownie, played in college for a year or in G League for a year, and could take part in the draft in 2024. Since the reform of high school students’ helicopter may be in 2024 at the earliest, brownie younger brother Blyth will have the opportunity to graduate from high school in 2025 and enter NBA directly.
Three people play NBA together, the conditions are very harsh, at least meet the following:
First, James has to play for at least 4 years.
Second, brownie to be competitive and will be selected in two years.
Third, Brice rushed to implement the new regulations.
Fourth, at least two of the father and son are in the same team.
The first one should not be difficult. James is about to enter his 20th season. With his physical condition, there is no problem to play for another three or four years. It is nothing more than how to play and how much to play. Rugby star Tom Brady has always been James’s role model. He reached the age of 45 and returned after announcing his retirement.
“I think I can hold on for a while and see how my body is, but more importantly, it depends on my will. As long as my will is firm, full of vitality and motivation, the sky is not my limit. I can hold on for a longer time.”
James had said long ago that he hoped that he could play the same game with his eldest son brownie in the last year. Now it seems that the chance of playing the same game with second child may be even greater. The boss is currently ranked 35th in the 2023 level. It is hard to say whether he can choose it, but the prospect of second child Blyth seems to surpass his brother, who is only 15 years old.
Blaise transferred to Serra Valley High School in 2019 and shared the same school with his brother. Although he wore glasses, he was not as Brownie as his elder brother cool. He was much better than his elder brother in terms of physical condition and went straight after his father LeBlanc. Careful people made a comparison. At the age of 15, my brother was brownie tall and my father was 196, while Blyth reached 198.
Although Brice was only 15 years old and did not rank in the United States, his father was greatly amazed by his rapid growth. He posted a picture of his second child dunking on social media, adding “my twin”, it means carved in the same mold with me. Brownie was a defender, but Brice was a striker. He was strong and good at fighting back. What he lacked was the basic skills of shooting. However, as early as 4 years ago, James claimed that 11-year-old Brice “was the best pitcher in our family”.
Poor parents all over the world, James did his best for his two sons. He often went to the scene of brownie to watch the ball. After transferring to the same school second child, James went to see the two sons playing the same game happily again. Not long ago, he took his two sons back to his hometown ekelon and took a group of photos and videos in the stadium donated by himself. The photos were on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and the father and son became the current theme.
The purpose of this is, of course, to increase exposure and attract the attention of scouts and universities. James revealed that after graduating from high school brownie, he would probably choose college for one year. At present, the conditions of college student players are much better than that of his year. In the past, college students could not accept advertisements, hire brokers or accept private commercial gifts. Once they found that they were punished fiercely. James wanted to realize his NBA dream early and couldn’t make money in college, so he directly participated in the draft. Now American universities allow athletes to accept sponsorship, receive advertisements, endorsement and live delivery. This is called NIL, which means making money by using their portrait rights.
It’s really longshenglong, fengshengfeng, and the boss’s blessing to his father Brownie. He took the first endorsement in his life on February this year. It’s a pair of underpants. It is estimated that after entering university brownie, NIL’s income can reach 6 million dollars a year.
If he graduated from high school at the age of 18, he could helicopter NBA, then his younger brother Blyth would be more lucky, because he always made much more money in NBA than in college.
NBA revised the age threshold in 2006, all mentioned 19 years old. Amir Johnson became the last player to directly set foot on NBA from high school. I have always been an opponent of this policy, because Kobe, James, Garnett, McGrady, Howard, Xiao Si, Chandler and other stars have all entered their careers directly from high school and exerted their talents earlier, there is also a larger fault tolerance space.
The reason why NBA raised the age threshold at the beginning was that some high school players did not have solid basic skills and lacked team training for college basketball. After making a lot of money in NBA, they did not want to make progress. The opposite is typical: Kwame Brown, swift, bend, Diop, Dalius miles, Eddie Curry, Leon Smith, terfair, etc.
However, entering the NBA one year later cannot guarantee that Gao Shun’s rookie must be successful, and there is a risk of seeing the top, ranking and exploring flowers. A truly capable star can get ahead in NBA even if he has not played University.
Two of the first high school helicopter NBA were in 1975, and there were no high school students for nearly 20 years. From Garnett, who was the fifth choice in the first round in 1995 to the last one in 2005, 39 people were taken by high school helicopters in 10 years, 30 of whom were taken away in the first round, ten out of 39 people have played the All-Star game, accounting for. Even if they don’t enter the All-Star team, there are many generals, more than one best sixth person. It should be said that the yield rate is not low:
Hall of Fame member
Garnett, Kobe, McGrady
At least one All-Star team
Little O’Neal, Chandler, little Ace, James, Howard, Bynum, rasard Lewis
Other famous players
Ale Harrington, Otello, Parkins, Livingston, Josh Smith, Ale Jefferson, J.R. Smith, Gerald Green, C.J. Miles, Monta Ellis, Louis Williams, Bratch
I also advocate that people should enter university for further study, but athletes eat youth rice and become professional players one year later. What they earn less is not the rookie salary in the first year, but the salary in the last year, if you have some achievements, the salary in this last year is often very high.
For example, Kobe Bryant entered the NBA in the last year of 25 million, Yogueta, and may only play for 19 years, and the income in the last year is gone. Garnett didn’t catch up with the good time, he got at most 28 million in a single season, 8 million in the last year, while only 1.62 million in the rookie year.
Whether a player can become a star is not necessarily related to playing a college game for a year. The decisive factors are his talent, hard work and opportunities. Of course, it is better to have a father like James.
No matter when the age threshold is lowered to 18 years old, the draft will be crowded unprecedentedly that year, and the next year will be quite deserted, because the high school students who should have turned 19 years old, he squeezed into the threshold one year in advance and grabbed a job with the new couple of the first session. Therefore, whether it was implemented in 2024 or 2025 is really very different for James’s second child. However, no matter what kind of system, powerful talents cannot be stopped.
