No one is interested in whether they put in more work than some random at Taco Bell or some booze hound faking his hours to get more beer money.
What’s the point in even considering that?
If someone is blessed by genetics with a level of physical talent that outpaces 99.9% of the general populace is everyone supposed to be impressed that they beat out 99.9% of the general populace by basically not doing drugs to the point of ruining themselves or not committing a crime that got them put in the system?
Being born talented and not fucking it up isn’t a positive it’s just not a negative.
If a guy born into the 99.9% of athletes decides to coast I won’t say he shouldn’t do that but I also wont lie and say he didn’t coast or couldn’t have been better.
Kobe wanted to meet his max potential, approximate quote was he wanted to squeeze out all of the juice he had.
If Vince wanted to be elite while putting in professional level of effort but not give 90 hrs on an expected 40 hr work week it doesn’t make him bad. But let’s not pretend it isn’t what it is and compare him to “90% of the population”.
Now. Also the day of the trade.
Also now. Whatever day you read this is a day too late.
