And I am actually a little surprised that they allow it. You are a legal adult at 18. I don't see what compelling societal interest should allow the NBA business to discriminate against you.

A 21 drinking age presumably reduces drunk driving deaths. That is a pretty big deal.

A 19 age to get into the NBA saves NBA teams from making mistakes about drafting kids straight out of high school...

If you are 18 and have the talent to be a first round pick but not the grades/test scores to go to college, you have to waste a year sitting around or playing in Europe.

And if you have the grades to go to college, you essentially play for no more than room and board.
As Bwillie said, the NBA is using the NCAA as a minor league system so they don't make a $50 million dollar mistake on a high school kid.
