Re: why do NBA players get into more trouble than other pro sports?

I don't want to stereotype anyone, nor appear to be racist or anything either (because I'm not), but part of it might be the background of ***some*** (not all) players. I was thinking about it, and I think that basketball (more than baseball, hockey, and football) is a sport that some kids with troubled childhoods growing up on the streets can embrace and use it to better themselves. Once they get to college and the NBA I guess it's just too much too fast. They haven't matured enough to handle the situations thrown at them. Again, this isn't all players by any means, but you don't hear of many NHL or MLB players coming from the hood.

This may explain some, but then there are the players coming from the suburbs and whatnot who still are stupid and break the law...

That's not it. Alot of it is just immaturity, and lack of sing common sense. Look at Stoudamire in Arizona. That was just plain dumb. He didn't have a troubled background, but he allows himself to get into some stupid situations.

The perfect example of a good background and upbringing but doing something stupid you could accredit to immaturity would be KOBE.

Good points everyone. I think it would help if the NBA would shorten the offseason. Like AI siad, players have to much time.

Re: why do NBA players get into more trouble than other pro sports?

I dont believe its where you are from but it is who influences you the most and your own choices. KG is from the Projects but you dont hear anything about him doing that do you. So it is not a black thing 90% of my school is white and rich (and think they are black or either racist) and about 50% of them are white so it is not where you are from but who influences you. It just that the NBA is smaller and you know more people on the teams each NFL team has about 55 people on it right. and ther are some player in the NFL who get into trouble.
