The Truth About Greatness: What Steph, MJ, and LeBron Have in Common

The greatest players, they start with some athleticism from their parents. If you look at a player like maybe a Steph Curry, you know, what separates Steph Curry from all these other players? Why is he so great? Or why is Michael Jordan or LeBron, you know, they're all different. They're very skilled, number one. So they have put an immense amount of time into being a great player. So it didn't just happen. They have sacrificed, instead of going to the movies, instead of maybe doing, you know, other, going to the beach or going to the pool, they are in the gym or they are out on the court at the playground working on their game. And the greatest players, the time doesn't guarantee it, but the great players have put their time in. They have, they have maybe a special gift in the same way that a Mozart has a special musical gift. How do you measure that? They're born with it. And so they have a gift, but they maximize it by their hard work. And then being part of a team, because it's not an individual sport, being part of a team, they have to really be very mature, unselfish, and they have to be very resilient because they're going to miss a lot of shots, you know. If someone shoots like 50% from the field, that's pretty good. That's only making half your shots. So it's, I think it's a combination of just a really, really good sense of self. Like great players really understand the big picture and they get it.
