This is something that I have thought about for awhile but I think that athletes in general have a very skewed view of what they do and their abilities. It might be that you have to be able to think this way to make it to the nba. It is such a longshot that you have to think you are capable and responsible for anything. What are some of the most out there quotes?
This is the quote that brought this idea back to my attention:
“It’s like the girlfriend that you used to have,” Brooks said of the Grizzlies this season without him. “You don’t know how good she is until she’s gone. "
-Good on Brooks for = believing in himself but I think he thinks he is A or B tier even though he has been struggling badly on offense.
An oldy but a goody :
Sprewell saying " I have a family to feed.” and turning down $21 million only to be offered $5 million exceptions, which he also turned down and basically "retired" out of the league.
idk any specific qoute but I swear when drose was first traded to the Knicks Stephen A Smith or somebody was saying how they could rival the warriors
