Didn't stop Kobe's hunger & dedication to the game based on his own privileged upbringing.
Kobe's a psycho though. And there's a difference between kid of an NBA superstar versus the kid of a role players. Guys like Kobe, Steph, Klay, etc. were kids of NBA role players. They naturally have more hunger than kids of NBA stars.
Bron's oldest sons seems like a clone of him in terms of personality. I don't know if LeBron would've been as successful if he didn't have the desperation of his family situation. If he came from a well off situation, I coulda seen him going down a different path than sports.
