In March of 2015, NBA Players Association lawyer Gary Kohlman was on a panel about college athletics in Boston and had this to say about the 19-year-old age limit on the NBA Draft:
"If they were white and hockey players they would be out there playing. If they were white and baseball players they would be out there playing. Because most of them are actually African-American and are in a sport and precluded from doing it, they have to go into this absurd world of playing for one year.
That's just total complete hypocrisy.
