One suggestion is, If you don't want to be on the team, you could do badly in try-outs and not make it. \nIs it that you just don't like basketball, or you don't like sports at all? Maybe if you played another sport, they would be ok with it. Or, join another activity and get involved. Your parents just may want you to find a hobby, and they may think that basketball is the best one for you. If you can show them that you are dedicated to another activity/sport, I'm sure they will understand. Good luck!

I love the game of basketball beyond what most people do.  I follow high school, college, and pro.  I played two years of Junior College basketball, and I've coached.  From the time I turned 14 til the day I turned 18 I played 8 hours a day during the summers.  Currently I am 8 autographs shy of having the Top 50 of All-Time.  My favorite autograph is a 16x20 of Larry Bird and Julius Erving-"Dr. J".  Other than God, family, and friends-basketball is my love.  If you love to play, I hope you put in the time to become the best you can be.  I

Oh my god yes, I know exactly what you mean. I'm not into the NBA, and I just can't get into baseball anymore (which isn't hard when you're a Cubs fan,) at least not until later in the season. Arena League is ok if you want to go to a game, but I can't get into it like i do the NFL. I spent weeks getting excited over the friggin draft, for christs sake. I check the sports sites every day, knowing damn well nothing of any significance happened, but praying there will be something new. 11 weeks til pre-season...

Here is a website for the NBA Development League.  You will need to attend one of the tryouts.  The list of dates are on that page.\n\nhttp://www.nba.com/dleague/nbdl/2005_Tryouts-152194-95.html\n\nI just seen that those are last year tryouts.  I couldn't find the tryouts for this year.  There are phone numbers on that page to call and maybe they can help you.\n\nHere is the list of the lowest salaries in the NBA.\n\nhttp://www.insidehoops.com/minimum-nba-salary.shtml\n\nIt appears that if you get picked after attending the tryouts, you can expect to make at least $398,XXX a year.  If you they let you stay in there for 10 years, you will make a minimum of $1,XXX,XXX.   But if you are still making the minimum salary after 5 years, I say they will not keep you, they will let you go and move on to somebody else. \n\nhttp://www.nba.com/news/cap_040713.html\n\nThis site shows that the most a basketball player can make is about $40 million dollars.\n\nAs for job description, I would say you must be a well-rounded basketball player.  You must be good at everything, to an extent.   Just attend the tryouts and see if you get picked.  Pay close attention at the other players at the tryouts too.  If a lot of them are playing aggressive defense, then do just that.   Anyway, just attend the tryouts to see if you have what it takes.

try out for an aba team, they have open tryouts and a lot easier to make. check them out abalive dot com . a lot of nba scouts go to some of their games. that or either buy live 06 and create a player.

A lot of people think that they have what it takes to make it in the NBA.However,for whatever reason,they are either playing overseas or are sent to the NBA Developmental League.Jumpshots and dunks are good,but people skills are also required to make it in the National Basketball Association.

Are you athletic? If so, you could easily get into the NFL, NBA, or MLB Assoc. They have no standards for behavior.

NEED to watch the Laker Game?\n\nNO, I think you already know the answer.  You need to sacrifice some immediate pleasures to ensure your longterm happiness.

The Euroleage has been thriving for some seasons now and basketball is very popular, particularly in Spain and some Eastern European countries. The standard of competition is very high indeed. One key thing to note is that the fundamentals in European teams are very very sound, some would say even more so than in the NBA, and every player will be expected to be able to set picks, do pick and rolls, shoot a decent mid range jump shot, set effective screens and so on. If you are with the air force, I would suggest trying to get a posting in Germany, where Basketball is getting increasingly popular, and perhaps seeing if you could play in a semi-professional league there first.
