At no point in his nba career did he better himself. He was the same hustle guy that could jump. Hard work off the court might have helped him develop a better jump shot, maybe put on a little weight so he could actually guard an opposing PF.

The guy's point is how do you know he didn't work hard off the court and just got little results/improvement. Shaq, for a time, worked hard at shooting better free throws and improved very little. Scottie Pippen was a bad free throw shooter at one point and became a good one later. Everyone has limitations no matter how hard you work.

FWIW, I've never heard of Tyrus being lazy. I feel like thats just a "lazy" answer people like to give when they're asked why a guy didn't pan out. But start a Miles vs. Saban thread and plenty of research will be done.
