RESULTS: We identified 114 AAU teams with physical addresses for 250 (50%) currently active domestic NBA players. The State ADI of the high schools as well as national and state ADIs of prior AAU teams of active NBA players were significantly skewed toward lower ADI rankings (higher socioeconomic status) (p < 0.05). The mean distance between high school location and AAU location was 170 miles. Prior AAU teams of currently active NBA players are more frequently located in areas of higher socioeconomic status with nearly 50% being within the top 3rd lower state decile as measured by the area deprivation index. Similarly, we found the high schools these players attended, as a proxy for areas they grew up in, were also more frequently located in areas of higher socioeconomic status.
结果:我们确定了114支AAU球队,他们的物理地址为250名(50%)目前活跃的国内NBA球员。高中的状态ADI以及活跃的NBA球员的先前AAU球队的国家和州ADI显着偏向较低的ADI排名(较高的社会经济地位)(p<0.05)。高中位置和AAU位置之间的平均距离为170英里。当前活跃的NBA球员的先前AAU球队更经常位于社会经济地位较高的地区,根据面积剥夺指数衡量,近50%的人在排名前3位的较低州十分位数之内。同样,我们发现这些球员上的高中,作为他们长大的地区的代表,也更经常位于社会经济地位较高的地区。
