Assuming you are talking about the NBA, there is no education required. The only requirement is that you have attended college for at least one year or are 19 years of age or older.

Other professional leagues across the globe may differ in requirements, but it is safe to say that none of them require an education.

If you go on NBA.com when you scroll down to the bottom of the page there is a section that has the name of every player that has played since 2009. You will notice in the PDF file that majority of the players went to either college or university. So, if you would like to play I suggest you study hard, get into a good university and try playing on the team.

A High school education is necessary at the least. You can enter the league after your Senior year. Although, David Stern may change the rule.

NBA players do not need an education. If they are good, they will make the NBA. Thus, many NBA players do not have a college education.
