Jabari Parker's dad would like NBA option out of high school
July 10, 2011 6:59 PM
Sonny Parker isn't sure whether his son Jabari Parker, ESPN's No. 2 Class of 2013 basketball prospect, would jump straight to the NBA out of high school, but he would like him to have that option.
Parker, a former NBA player with the Golden State Warriors, is closely watching what happens between the league's players and owners as they work out a new NBA collective bargaining agreement. Parker would like for the NBA to eliminate its current rule where a player must be 19 years old and one year removed from high school to play in the NBA.
"I'm not about stopping people from making a living," Parker said on Sunday.
