Meh... I didn't realize it til I got to college.

I was the shyt all through high school, played basketball (pulled up to varsity at end of my sophomore year) played baseball (started every varsity game in centerfield since sophomore year), set school records in stolen bases, least amount of K's in a year, all conference 2 years straight, don't know how I didn't make all area, but whatever.

Went to college thinking it was just gonna happen for me like it always had in baseball, but picked a shytty program (should have went to a Juco) didn't have shyt facility wise, and just lost hella games every year. Had a new coach every year that I was there.

At the end of the day, I didn't succeed because I didn't put in the work to. I let the environment bring me down. You live and you learn.

If I would have finished growing in high school instead of when I was almost done with college, I would have had delusions of grandeur like the rest of you. Hard to have much hope for a professional career when you have even less hope of being 5'8.

My junior year I went to a Nike Camp/Tournment not the national official one but one the have statewide. I was always athletic but I didn't start taking basketball serious until my sophmore year.

Always thought I was pretty good that was until I was introduced to TJ Ford.
I sized him up, We were about the same height, same weight. Dudes were talking about him but no like they would the next year.

Long story short, he dusted my azz. I couldn't stay in front of him, his handles were A+, he took my rock like twice. It was like he could do anything he wanted. I feel defeated..

I later found out he was one of the top rated junior PG in Texas and one the top in the country so that made me feel a lil better. but I also had to accept that fact that some people are just naturally athletic freaks of nature and while I was athletic I wasn't one of them...
