People may say there would be no lebron james but he would still be there, just four years later and with such mature talent in the NBA due to having 4 year players the nba talent level would be on a much higher level, not needing necessarily a man like lebron james to put more hype into the league.

you have to be 3 years removed from high school thats all...

Originally posted by LeopoldStotch how about this ... lebron james (being from ohio) goes to ohio state, and leads the buckeyes to the ncaa championship, and he gets voted most valuable player as a freshman ... then everyone starts comparing him to the hype maurice clarett had when osu won the national championship when he was a rookie .. then the scandals start developing with lebron james and the ohio state basketball league about payments and bets and everything ... the what ifs .. .. shaun livingston would have did all right currently with reddick and ewing ... i skipped deshaun stevenson, because he will never make a name for himself .. currently in orlando, however, not doing much ..

carmelo anthony won as feshman and arguably could have been named player of the year in the ncaa

thats my favourite player melo.

bron is waay more talented though.

Manning, Laetneer(sp its late), El-Amin, Donyel & Donny Marshall from 90's UCONN fame, Jalen Rose(sorry he has been a bust whats he on his 20th NBA team)and more and more

jalen rose a bust wtf

he's a solid player and was not a top five pick he was picked out of the top 10...

how the fuck is he a bust?

he has only been on 4 nba teams, a 3-4 year stint with each of them

agree .. then again, there are currently 3 considered underachievers on toronto's team .. jalen rose, donyell marshall, and morris peterson .. ..

what if chris bosh did not leave georgia tech ? .. could have helped bynum and jack a bit this year, and given tech a better chance against louisville .. but they still couldn't have beaten louisville

they would win the title or be very close imo, bosh would be a beast in the ncaa, he's becoming one in the nba.

maybe even back 2 back.

The NBA would be far better in the long run if they can give a 20 year age limit to become draft eligible. However, the agrument can be made that many of todays top stars in league would be only a few years into the league: O'neil in Indiana, Stoudamire in Phoenix, Lebron in Cleveland and Carmelo in Denver. The structure of those four teams would be vastly different.

I for one would love to have seen a lot of the Darius Miles, Deshawn Stevenson's of the NBA go at least two years in the NCAA. They would have benefited in that they would be {hopefully} more mature and NBA ready.
