There is a lot going on in the world of sports gambling world this week. But for better or for worse, the face of the NBA was forever changed by the prep-to-pro generation. It also includes notable “busts” who either physically or mentally proved unable to handle the transition. Over that decade-plus period, the list of players who made that difficult leap includes some of the most celebrated players of the modern era-Garnett, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Tracy McGrady, and numerous other stars. That trend would continue until the NBA instituted an age limit in 2005, requiring all players to attend college or another developmental program for at least one year.
