Man I got a lil cousin who is a junior in high school and can't make the varsity basketball team. Peep this though, he had to lie about his age to play on a rec team with the younger kids. I called him the other day and he said he didn't make the starting 5 on the lil kid rec team. He then goes on to say he is going to keep practicing because when he gradates HS, he is gonna play basketball internationally. No mention of college, he STILL thinks he can play pro ball.It's tough love, B.

While all those other kids get that reality check at 24 that sports isn't a viable career path...he could be at Google or something raking in like 70 grand, not breaking a sweat.
...and still playing basketball for fun with those nerdy ass coworkers. I'm pretty sure Google would have a court on the premises.

As they should have. Focus on that science instead of
@Turbulent smugness aside...I am glad he told him what it is.
Too many blacks in the entertainment/sports and not enough in fields that matter in society. I hate it had to be the stereotypical black kid...but that can be the difference that will help place him in a better direction in life.

My mom did the same with my brother. He thought he was going to get a career in football....she shut that ish real quick . He is now studying urban planning at school!That kid should develop another hobby....get into computer science or something.

And I didn't entertain it either....we are really direct/no sugarcoating in my family to the point that the ish hurts. But it is for our best interest.
People need to grow a backbone...I am sure he's heard worst by his family members.
Or it could be a good story of his an engineer. The point is to direct the child where he can reach his full potential...only americans fall for that dream bs!!!
