Yea, its a lot more impressive if you came from the 'mud' and made a name for yourself.

These more privileged dudes still have to put in the work. And AAU has arguably been a detriment to what is now meta.
Yeah that shyt like a real life Cinderella story when that happens.. it hit different when your dad was a starter in college and you make it ..

It was to be expected honestly.. I mean NBA is the best of the best of the best. There's been what, 4,000 players in its history? The margins are so slim, that the x-factor was always going to be money. Best trainers, best diets, best schools from a young age. Kids in the hoods don't have that luxury, and end up falling a step behind.
Yeah I get it just kinda sucks it’s a whole generation that’s gonna miss out eventually

Above the fray.
Joke thread.
The late Kobe Bryant worked harder than players who were trying to move their entire extended family out of the projects.
Steph Curry just put the world on notice that GSW is still on top during his watch. His backcourt mate just came back after career threatening injuries to help them win another ring.
We've all seen the progression of their games, and the mental toughness displayed in playoff a d Finals runs.

If Mamba and Chef don't have dog in them, then nobody does. Last I checked both of them and Klay are sons of ex NBA players.

Basketball is a black sport

The black middle class is expanding

More middle class black kids are making the NBA
…..

And the ones that are from “the mud” like Jaden Hardy and Miles Bridges get identified quickly and are taken away or get insulated from that bullshyt so they don’t fall into the pitfalls prior generations fell into


I really don’t get the issue .

You’re never going to be a 1%er even though that is your dream.

It already happened in baseball and is also the reason soccer can't get any traction.
And what’s crazy i was gonna mention in the op that I remember reading the same thing about soccer and baseball in the u.s like 10 years ago
