I’ve always thought of NBA players, lucky.

Lucky they were born to be tall; blessed with height. Otherwise, they’d be the trash collectors or in the building trades, or as handymen. Not born lucky to get their millions.

Even as they ‘excel’ in basketball, most of what they do is dunk the ball. I can dunk more stylishly than you, and I can more easily push people out of the way to get my dunks.

Such talent.

What made Kareem even more valuable was his sky hook. Who could defend it? And he had to learn that due to the dunk being removed.

Guy is 7' 9" and he couldn't cut it at Florida. Absolutely atrocious footwork.

Otherwise, they’d be the trash collectors or in the building trades, or as handymen in prison.
