Those are notable names in the sport. Not all who have ever started late and made it to a high level, including the G league, European, or college.

It just shows that it is more likely and possible in that particular sport.

Do you have any examples in soccer/football that have made it to the highest levels?[/quote]
In the rest of the world, literally EVERYONE plays soccer first because it is by far the most popular sport and part of the culture. That's why you won't find pro soccer players who started with a different sport. It's ridiculous to look for guys in Spain who did not play soccer at a young age, but did play american football or baseball, and then suddenly picked up soccer in high school?

In the US you'll struggle to find an example of a kid who started soccer late and made it to high level soccer, because there are only a HANDFUL of men to EVER make high level soccer from the US.

It doesn't prove your point that soccer is somehow different than every other sport and high level players cannot start late. The lack of late starters is just a result of unrelated circumstances which have prevent it.[/quote]
