Competitive spirit in the nba is dead and will never comeback since 90percent of the draft class are mixed brites from well off families

I know OP is trolling


But it's true that basketball is changing.

Cats are playing year round on expensive clubs from when they turn 7/8.

If you from the hood and don't get a scholarship to play for these Squads or prep schools you are behind.

Just playing in the parks every summer will not cut it anymore

You’re saying you make in the top 1%? Or he’s one of the top 1% athletically? If it’s the former I didn’t realize you were making that much :ehh:
He’s in the top one percent financially in this country. Much like these athlete kids. My son goes to school with some of these athletes kids. It’s harder to get them to have a sense of urgency when they have so much.. Consider how myself my other half grew up, we at times have to calm ourselves down because we know he didn’t have our life

Trolling aside, youth basketball in the U.S. has increasingly become pay to play

A lot of these kids are getting priced out. I was just talking to one of my uncles, he was trying to sign one of his sons up for AAU and how shocked he was when he found out the cost
This the reason why the US sucks when it comes to soccer youth programs. Everywhere else in the world u get into top programs at an early age for cheap. NBA is about to be filled with mostly Euros in the future
