Question by DP:
How did the nba draft work during the years of the vietnam war?
Back in the years of the Vietnam War, The Selective Service Act forced all males from ages 18-26 to sign up for the draft…

Question: College graduates could be drafted. were guys entering the nba draft free from getting drafted to the military or was there a chance they could be drafted?
yeah but back in the 60’s most of the players entering the nba draft were college graduates making them not immuned to the military draft

WHY IS THE NBA SEASON DURING THE WINTER?

August 29th, 2010

Question by I am Special:
Why is the NBA season during the winter?
Isn’t basketball a summer sport? So why does the NBA have their season during the winter months? Hockey is a cold weather sport so it is played in the winter, football is played in the fall to experience the warm and cold weather and baseball is a summer sport played in the summer.

Does my logic make sense to anybody else?

Q&A: HOW CAN NBA REFEREES MAINTAIN CREDIBILITY AND HONESTY WHEN CONSTANTLY CONVERSING WITH PLAYERS DURING A GAME?

July 25th, 2010

Question by U, S. Citizen:
How can NBA referees maintain credibility and honesty when constantly conversing with players during a game?
1. Watching the recently NBA playoffs offs and the incorrect calls or no calls against one team during a particular game.
2. MBL has had some problems but no umpire is permitted to speak to players as in the NBA
3 The NFL does not grant coversations with players the way the NBA does
4. I have only seen a few soccer games but officials handle themselves well.
