There are more talented players not in the NBA than in the NBA. The world is a big place with many people that play basketball, they just weren't blessed enough to make it to the NBA. Then there are players that are super talented and don't want to be in the NBA. The point is NBA players are high level professionals in their craft, but don't be fooled into thinking they are the best in the world. There not even the best in the United States. Blessings, luck, and being in the right place with the right people got them in the NBA, not hardwork and talent. There are billions of people who work hard and are talented. Sometimes talent is wasted and sometimes hardwork just makes you tired. Life is a complex complicated journey.
