Some random dude applied for the NBA draft...and got in!

http://www.draftfeinstein.com/process.php


The story begins in April of 2007, when one of my roommates (Dan) suggested that we should declare for the NBA Draft the following year. He, of course, said it jokingly. I, however, thought he was serious.

I did nothing about this idea until this past January, when I began to look into what would need to be done to actually enter the draft. I started by viewing the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement. Here I found in Article X Section 1 (b) the information I was looking for:

(i) The player (A) is or will be at least 19 years of age during the calendar year in wich the Draft is held,
and (B) [...] at least one (1) NBA Season has elapsed since the player's graduation from high school [...]
(ii) (F) The player has expressed his desire to be selected in the Draft in writing received by the NBA at
least sixty (60) days prior to such Draft (an "Early Entry" player)



It was at that point decided - I must write a letter to the NBA declaring my intent to be drafted. Using my best legalese I crafted such a letter.

He didn't get in you n00b.....he just got approved to have his application evaluated by the league office. As soon as they do a background check, they will toss his application where this thread hopefully ends up....in a trash can!

not true anyone can apply for the draft.

If you actually went to the site, you'd see that he got in. I just posted one pic of one of the forms he got. He is listed on the draft sites as an "unkwown" player

Applying and having your application approved are 2 diffeent things.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

lmao at poseidon, why u acting like a little girl? aways trying to start up an arguement. what are u fcking retarded? don't get enough attention at home? did u think this thread was some sort of threat on your well being?

[gts]

Maybe you should read the letter from the NBA which explains the procedure for those who can read and comprehend sentences.i did, and unlike you i kept reading and found out the whole story, you instead just read the first part of the story and made an uninformed post, flamed the OP all based on your limited knowledge of the subject... but hey maybe i'm expecting too much, i forget you're a troll sometimes

Dude, he was approved. If some team wants to draft him, they can..

[gts]

Applying and having your application approved are 2 diffeent things.gads what an effing moron READ READ READ!


I faxed those forms in on April 2nd.

Since I had waited and heard nothing back from the NBA in terms of confirmation, on the morning of April 14th I decided to call up the NBA. This conversation went quite well as Erika Ruiz quickly confirmed that all my papers were in order and no further steps needed to be made by me. And behold as of May 1 I am able to find myself on the Early Entry List at draftexpress.com and nbadraft.net under "unknown players".

[brantonli]

Eh, your opinion of me is irrelevant. Don't care one bit. lol

You just can't admit you are wrong, can you?

[plowking]

Hope we (The Heat) can pick him up with our first pick. Heard the guy has a sweet J.

[cortices]

Eh, your opinion of me is irrelevant. Don't care one bit. lol

haha, you were wrong. grow a pair and admit it. you're just embarrassing yourself now.

[baseketball4life]

if you apply and get accepted, does that mean you actually have to go through pre-draft workouts? i know teams hold their own and they wont invite some random schmoe, but is there a general NBA workout, like the combine in the NFL

That would be great if he did that. I'd love to see the PTI guys laughing about it with a video.

Yeah there is a general pre-draft camp where players are measured, weighed ect. and some players play in tournaments(usually not the lottery picks).

The lottery picks are usually only weighed, measured and have their athletisism tested. Kind of cool to look back what some of the results. For example comparing Greg Oden's tests to Shaq's.
