What possible reasons would you need not to date an NBA player? They would presumably be the same reasons that you would need not to date anyone else. But to be basketball specific, one should not date an NBA player if one knows that:

1. The NBA player is married to a jealous wife.

2. The NBA player is married and tells you.

3. The NBA player is known to take drugs, and you don’t.

4. The NBA player has a conceited opinion of himself. Of course, you wouldn’t know that unless you were already dating an NBA player or following hints at online sites like dating NBA players,
