Very true
They're nikkas who are naturally talented/ physical then there are those who are passionate, hard working, and are smart to succeed..
Again, FOH
Stop being so emotional.
Skill level is a completely different attribute than athleticism, and even then to be considered world class, you need to be head & shoulders above 99% of the rest of the world.
What, you think the only reason 99% of kids don't make it pro is because they didn't work hard enough?
Even with skill, there's a wall you'll hit. Doesn't matter how much blood, sweat, & tears you shed. You'll never shoot a ball like Stephen Curry or Ray Allen.
Ever.
There's no amount of training in the world that your little ass could have done growing up that would have ever put you on par athletically with Nate Robinson or Allen Iverson.
Athleticism is an innate trait.
The world class athletes have it in spades from birth and become elite,
world class athletes by honing it and working dillengetly from the time they're able to compete competitively.
You have a much better chance at becoming Kyle Korver through hardwork than you ever will Derrick Rose.
Put the pipe down.
