Naw, it is the parents. It is ultimately the parents that have to put up the money for all of these things. The tournaments, the sponsors, etc. The system takes advantage of the parents too. I see far too many kids, traveling from state to state, only to sit on the bench for practically the entire weekend and shoot just 5 shots over 4 games. In lieu of that, they could have been at the crib, shooting jump shots, working on fitness and their ball handling but parents can be delusional also. More practice, less games. I see these kids. If a kid has dribbled 14 consecutive dribbles before a shot or pass, he's dribbled way too long but crackhead ass parents don't want that. They want their kids to have a bag. My son has a bag and I don't encourage that. Get to your spots and put in work. Save the and1 shyt for when you are messing around.
