Anyone who plays basketball since a very very young age and practices everyday for hours and hours can make the NBA if they wanted to?
What about if anyone 6' 1'' or over plays from a very very young age and practices everyday for hours and hours?
6'6'' and over?
6' 9'' and over?
True Or False?

There are plenty of people 6'9 that couldn't sniff the NBA, even if they loved basketball. You have to have physical ability, not just height.
But we're talking about working really hard at a very young age. Everyday going in for hours working on your jumper, your post moves, your vertical jump, your strength, everything.

Some people just don't have the physical talent, no matter how hard they work.
You have to be born with some physical ability and athleticism. Hard work can only do so much.

It's really sad to see what ends up happening to those young child stars many of us grew up with, and how their lives turn out (some for the worst), given they never got to enjoy a normal childhood like many of us did.
