Lets take this scenario

[BrothaZay]

Ok you have the chance of a lifetime.

You're in your athletic prime, and you have 4 years, and only 4 years to get your skills up enough to NBA level.
You have access to the best doctors, trainers, coaches etc.. just for those 4 years.

Do you think you can do it?

yes!

Not 100% sure what the question is...

But no. Even if you have the natural skills, competition is just too high.

I had the same thought last night; James Flight White was at the gym I go to. He's got NBA talent and all he does is play basketball and work out and he can't do it...the average person has zero shot. At some point athletes just stop improving no matter how hard they work...

Breh, anybody that could actually do it has probably at least sniffed the D-league or playing overseas. A nikka posting in the Coli though

[HHR]

I don't understand the question.

But I guess no.

I'm 5'10" and even though I consider myself a pretty good athlete...I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too limited to ever think that I could sniff any professional league...any sport. I'm happy to keep killing pick-up and rec league though

 

[...and some waffle fries]

No doubt in my mind.

*works on corner 3's and intensity for 4 years

*Enjoys a 10 year career as a role player

*Forever known as a 3 point specialist and fierce defender even though I shot 37 percent from the arc for my career and was average at best on defense

yo that dude prob has some of the greatest dunks i've ever seen. That college dunk competition was classic. That dude jumps from the free throw line like its nothing.

Hell naw.

But I think the NFL would be the best odds in that scenario of 4 years of intense training. More players in the league = more chances to break in. And MLB requires too much skill/natural talent for physical training to help.
