NBA Age Limit

Pacers forward Jermaine O'Neal thinks that racism might have something to do with the NBA's desire to put an age limit in the next collective bargaining agreement. NBA Commissioner David Stern wants the age limit raised to 20. Players currently have to be at least 18 to be drafted. I think that if the age limit is raised that it might hurt the league. What do you think? Look at LeBron James. He has done nothing but help the league with selling jerseys for the Cavs and all of the marketing opportunities he provides for the NBA. I do not think that putting an age limit of 20 is necessary. But if it happens, could it be considered racism? Would this make the NBA look bad for having an age limit? Do you think that players out of high school would go to college for two years if the age limit is raised or lose their amateur status and go play in Europe for a year or two and then enter the draft? This could cause a huge problem for the NBA.
