i dunno who posted it but my friend who's an nba fan posted it
I've always wondered: Do people that prefer CBB to NBA also prefer High School hoops over College hoops? Where does one draw the line?
Across the United States there are 26,407 public secondary schools and 10,693 private secondary schools.
No idea of the number of basketball teams, but it has to be well into the 5000s. There is no national tournament. And most teams don't play outside their league or state.
There are 351 D1 Men's basketball teams and anyone can play anyone. There is a national tournament. Many of these kids will become Pro basketball players, and so have a future in the sport.
Also, naturally, the gap in play between highschool and college, vs college and pro, is larger. That's just a numbers/athletic ability thing.
It's really, really not that hard.
