In other words I can hang on the court with my buds that played low-level college ball, even though I didn't make the JV team. (though they are certainly better). I can guard them.
If everything had worked out for me, in terms of development and coaching, I am certain I had the potential to be a varsity bball player. But college, no way. |
We get it, Mike. The manner in which you crashed and burned in HS is in no way indicative of your current awesomeness and true athletic prowess. I think we all feel that way.
