I'd imagine a lot of pro athletes grow to dislike their sport simply because of all the time they must invest in it over the course of their lives. It's a job and not a pickup game at the Y.



I think basketball is particularly unique in that there are NBA players who got to be there because of their height.

Deandre Jordan is the perfect example. He did not try at basketball until he got to the Clippers.

The strange thing with Jokic is that he is skilled and has a insanely high basketball IQ, yet seems to be totally apathetic. I think it is a bit of an act. Like a Euro Brooks Koepka.
