Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 1343202, member: 2350"] Fair enough, and some good points. However consider that there are 330 players in the NBA, the majority of whom are among the finest athletes from all over the world. Some of them are highly specialized in a few skills, and have devoted their lives to cultivating and applying their skills. In college ball in the US, there are approx. 13,000 players in Div I, II III and the NAIA. And I haven't tried to approximate the JUCO's. There's an attendant spread in the skill sets in college ball, meaning there's no reasonable way to compare the two games. And worse, every year about 40 of the best players from the NCAA leave the college ranks to go to the NBA. There's only one Kentucky and a handful of Wisconsin-like teams out there. Next year's NCAA will be very different, but the NBA won't change much, because of the flow of the relatively few superior players. Just IMHO. [/QUOTE]
