looking for an article..
hey guys I remember a long while ago it was either an article or tv segment. Where the artice or show was talking about All Stars in every sport and how they became All Stars through genetics. They had the likes of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and alot of others. But one thing that really stood out is they said Robert Horry had the same genetics as those very All Stars but never became one, even though he should have... Anybody else know what the hell Im talking about? Id say it was over a year ago or so. If so does anyone have a link to it?

I know what you're talking about, but I haven't seen that article since Tracy got traded.
Try googling Danny Ainge and brain type. If it's still out there, you'll find it that way.
P.S. What were you doing at dinner with your girl when there was a Magic game against the Lakers in Orlando? Why didn't you take her to the game?

I am a geneticist as my career. I have no idea what you are talking about as a concept. There is no test that person A has the "genes" to play basketball. Or even that an infant child is likely to be a good athlete. This is simply hog-wash.
BTW: Robert Horry is one of the ten most successful basketball players EVER. EVER!!! Looks like he has the "winning gene." I tested him; the gene is there!

It's not a physical thing. It's a psychological thing. Apparently, Danny Ainge is a big believer in "brain typing.''
It used to be hip among a bunch of NBA personnel executives; don't know whether it still is. There is a test that you can take -- a lot of companies use it to determine styles of their management teams -- to determine how you react to things and whether, among other things, you react to challenges in ways that are introverted, outgoing, reactive, etc. Based on the answers you give to this test, you get assigned a particular combination of four letters to determine your "brain type.'' Supposedly, this test determine how you interact with others and make decisions.
The reason the article made its rounds here a lot when Tracy was here is supposedly he tested off the charts in a positive way that indicated he had what it took to be an elite NBA player.
