Aren't those statistics a bit distorted? Says there is 8.3% of all NBA player that did not go to college and 4.8% of them got arrested. That might be a minor pool of the actual total NBA players, but by those percentages, that is 57.8% of all players in the NBA who didn't go to college, did get arrested.
Of the players that played one year in college which is 6.5% in all of the NBA, 4.8% of them were arrested, making that a 73.8% of all NBA players that attended college for one year 73.8% of them were arrested.
Those percentages are still very high of kids being arrested,lol. So, I guess this would dissprove sims whole arguement that the NBA is making these guys better and role models and bringing the world together, since it looks like they are all fucked up.
The statistics are also tainted, since taking high school players, guys only one year in college are happening far more now, then compared two some of the players on this list that has guys predominately staying in school longer, so the percentages aren't taken over a direct set of years for each class, because kids are starting to come out earlier now, then they use to. This poll or statistic needs to have more years assessed to each category for it to make more sense and be a true factual statistic to use.
He has the right idea of a qualitative analysis, but the quantitative part of the analysis needs to be compared on multiple years of each category, which would consist of more years put in the books of first year college students to the NBA and 2nd year college students to the NBA to make the qualitative analysis better and mean something.

The 2nd percentage does not mean what you think it means. Unless you want to believe over 100% of college graduates get arrested. All NBA Players: 41.1% went to college for 4 years Arrested NBA Players: 57.1% went to college for 4 years Meaning: NBA Players with 4 years of college represent a proportionally higher % of arrested NBA players than all NBA players.
