According to a source from the NBA Players Association the players want to
put an end to age restriction that forbids players from entering the NBA
directly out of high school.
"We want to go back to the way it was," a source from the NBA Players
Association said. "The players have always been philosophically opposed to
it. The vast majority of players feel a player should have the right to make a
living. If he has the talent and wants to make money to help his family, he
should have that right. It's just a matter of principle."
NBA Players Association executive director Billy Hunter sent an audio
podcast detailing the union's proposal to every player last week. The proposal,
which includes the end of the age restriction, have been obtained by ESPN.com
and confirmed by a union source.
