People have no idea how many guys that won the genetic lottery should've made the NBA. Kids don't just automatically get on the right track because they have the gifts to succeed in professional sports.
For every Lebron James, there's 100 kids you never heard of that could've made it and didn't because of the same shoddy support system that Lebron had. He had to overcome that.
Lebron probably would've been highly successful at whatever he wanted to do. People say "if I had his gifts I'd be great too" yet they're in some dead end job in their chosen field.

This is quite true.

Pretty much. Which is why I don’t have a problem with him talking about it either. If that motivates a kid in a similar situation to try everything he can to get out of that situation then so be it.
