I was good @ football in my limited time, and my HS sent two people to the NFL that I would have played with. In basketball though, I was only good when I was around people that couldn't physically match up with me, my handle never developed to the level a guards should be at. By the end of 7th grade I was 6"1, and the coaches for my middle school team kept telling me to focus on being a big, so that's what I did

My father is 6"5 and mother is 5"7, the doctors kept telling me I'd end up around 6"7 to 6"9 so I kept playing as though I was a big. I had no reason to believe I'd only grow 1 more fukking inch
when HS rolled around everyone caught up in height and my guard skills weren't great. I was athletic and smart enough to play to my strengths but if someone was quick enough to force me left I was done. I went to a camp and while I wasn't the worst player there, I never stood out.
I was awful @ baseball, I'd swing at anything
