I remember a vid of a dude talking shyt to a pro kicker saying he could hit a 45 yard goal.
Bears fans shytted on Parkey for the Double Doink, but when it was their turn to attempt the same FG

To play devil’s advocate…Denzel Valentine did get flamed in the Drew League by a “regular” guy. so it’s possible but in my opinion HIGHLY unlikely.

i refuse to believe that the MLB is harder than hockey to get in. MLB be draftin cats that haven't sniffed a baseball field since high school.

I’m not sure the guys background but The Drew League isn’t exactly pick up ball in the park. Usually lots of high level amateurs, pros, former pros, guys that play overseas, former college players etc.
I'm not so sure about that.
frank nitty ain't a regular.. he was on the Lakers roster. 2 or 3 time drew league MVP.. and now big 3.
It is not. Solely because if you are tall, hardworking and athletic you can literally start the game in your teens and make the league. Also, because of its nature, you can improve on your own, all you need is a ball and a rim. Hakeem Olajuwon played soccer and handball until he was convinced by a coach to switch to basketball, it was rumoured that he was 17 at the time, although I cannot verify this. If this is true though he had only been playing for 5 or 6 years before he made the NBA.
You have no chance of doing this though if you are under 6,9 though. The shorter you are the more competition there is.

A couple guys from HS went on to the pros. Even at 15-16 the talent gap was huge.
One guy won a ring with the Cavs, barely played all year. People tried to play him like he was a scrub. He went to the G-league and dropped 55
sportscenter had to cover it. It just puts it in context, if he can drop 55 in the G-league what does that say about LeBron and an NBA starter
Brehs in here are delusional lol

I'm just comparing like to like. FIBA says that 450 million people play basketball worldwide and WBSC says that 65 million people play baseball worldwide. So I think that's a rough comparison for their relative global popularity.
I mean heck, if anything the baseball numbers are MORE inflated than the basketball numbers, cause there are a lot more worthless little kids playing little league who hardly ever pick up a baseball again than there are little kids playing basketball who quit at 8.
So, "Basketball isn't the hardest league to get into if you're over 6'9"
Considering only a tiny % of the population is over 6'9", that's pointing out that it's even HARDER for any regular person to make the league, considering that half the roster spots are taken up by guys over 6'7" and bigger guys.

Duncan pod and Jj Redikk's are both pretty good
I don't think it makes sense to compare which league/sport is harder to make it into considering each league/sport has different factors at play that limits who can participate at the elite level.
It's almost like arguing can a player in sport x make it sport y. We know how those conversations turn out. Elite is elite regardless.
