One reason the EBL Started is to develop young kids the right way. AAU has become like a meat market at the top levels. A brothel with pimps might be a better description, but it comes down to who can get who paid by who at a far bigger premium than how to develop boys into men and into basketball players. What is worse, is that the only reason the AAU brothel exists is because High School summer rules are ridiculous. In trying to not give any one team a competitive advantage, and who knows whatever else they are trying to accomplish, they turned lose the pimps on their most talented kids. And then there is the NCAA. Has there ever been a more hypocritical, backward organization when it comes to “trying to protect the student athlete “?. America is the home of the American Dream where with hard work and initiative you can be anything you want, unless you want to be an athlete. For athletes in NCAA schools, its more like communist Russia where they assign a 4 year plan and so many work rules you expect Lenin to show up on the court with a whistle and a compliance officer. College has a rule that there can only be four players on the court at the same time. Plain and simple the rules are dumb. The EBL is here to help develop young men and basketball players as well. Our league is also here to help players who fell through the cracks and have the talent to play overseas or maybe the NBA. We will help cultivate their talent and get seen by the higher levels. I hope everyone enjoys EBL basketball in your city and help grow strong talented basketball players.
