Author's Note: I was watcing the nba draft and i was tired of hearing all the kids that were freshmen going to the pros. also hearing stories about basketball players retiring then going bankrupt cause they were spending to much and didnt have a job. So i wanted to write about those stats and why you should stay in college.
According to northjersey.com, 38% of college basketball players graduate, while the other 62 % don’t graduate. This statistic is eye opening because the player can’t count on making it to the NBA so they should have a backup plan if it doesn’t work out. Even if it does work they usually don’t go to the NBA for that long so they College is important whether they make it to the NBA or not
About one in 75, or approximately 1.2 percent of NCAA men’s basketball players will get drafted by a NBA team. This is another eye opening stat to the players in college basketball. This stat shows how hard it is to get to the NBA so the players should have a backup plan.
Also another stat that is interesting is that the average the average age people retire in the NBA is 33 and the average death by a sports player is 67 both according to strengthplanet.com. So there is a 44 year difference between there you usually need to do something like get a job. Unless you are like Michael Jordan. so you need a college
degree to do most jobs.
In conclusion to all of this information these are reasons why you should graduate for school and have a backup plan if the professional career in basketball doesn’t work out.
This is why college is important weather you make it to the NBA or not.
