I promise there is no team at the top of the sport that can afford to have the kid referenced above take up a roster spot.

If there is an athlete that can’t ball on the team, and they didn’t earn that spot it will kill the team culture. High performing teams are very unique cultures, and the athletes police the team just as much, if not more than the coaches do.

The most telling thing is when people who have never breathed that rare air talk about the inequities of competition - those that have even gotten a whiff of that rare air know. Parents like the above kill theirs kids chances at greatness! Mindset matter so much. And yea, a chip on the shoulder can be motivating, but the above isn’t a “I had to earn what you were given” - the above is “I don’t have it, and you don’t deserve it, but I deserve it and you have it.” Just hurts my heart for the kid.[/quote]
