Made JV as a freshman in high school. Was the star player. Was NBA bound. Mixtape had a million hits on YouTube. Then, disaster. Got cut from varsity the next year in favor of the coach’s son. Nepotism cost me an NBA career.

Let’s just pretend everything you said is true.
Nope. Persecution complex cost you an NBA career. You could have used that moment to motivate you to work harder. You could have walked-on for a college team and continued your path.
You are not in the NBA because you chose to focus on who else to blame instead of overcoming a hurdle.
95% of the players in the NBA had to overcome hurdles to get there. If any of them had instead focused on who to blame for their struggles, they too would not be in the NBA.
This is a hilarious reply because
AND 2) acting like 95% of NBA players overcame massive odds to get there is such a hilarious thing to say. 95% of nba players are fucking GENETIC FREAKS where people knew they were league bound from a young age. You’re telling me the 6-8 guys who can run like a fucking gazelle “overcame massive odds” bruh, oooooookkkkkkk
David Thorpe actually talked ab this on a podcast recently.
there’s actually more people than you think that are tall as Kevin Durant, can dribble and shoot like him— and are not in the NBA.
none of them have the basketball mind that KD does however, that just comes from playing and experiencing a ton of basketball.
i remember another podcast talking ab how KD as a high schooler would come up early to shoot hoops before Team USA practiced, watch their practice from the bleachers, then continue shooting after they wrapped, doing like 12 hour days at the gym.
