From what I've seen, most of the kids whose parents played in the league usually never amount to anything "special".

My theory is that when you are born into the good life, there is little to no opportunity to become acquainted with "hunger" and/or "drive". If you've had access to fame and fortune your whole life, what motivation is there to improve your situation? That's why, I believe, most of these kids who are the progeny of successful athletes rarely make it to the level, or surpass the level, their parents reached.

The brightest stars will always come from the trenches.

Dude practicing his game on a lopsided court full of broken glass, where gang-bangers hang out, deep in the hood >>>> will always have the greater will to succeed as a ball player (provided he has his head on right and is surrounded by enough positive influences) than the kid who has a heated bball court in his father's mansion in a gated community.

Or Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Love, Tim Hardaway Jr, Glen Rice Jr, Andrew Wiggins, etc etc

Sure a lot of them don't make it, but the ones who do have an advantage over other people due to the resources available to them.
 
Congrats GOAT! Hopefully it's a worthy son this time.. i mean with mj like skills unlike Marcus and the other bum

Mostly true in sports. The exception is QB where having money is an advantage with QB coaches/camps.

she dates that NTer's homeboy, but she shouted 0ut Trey Burke on NBATV (she and Lisa Leslie and Swin Cash was calling highlights and said something like, "and he's definitely really fun to look at too hehe") and I don't even know if dude knows about it. It was even a few days before the Jazz were coming into OKC (Tulsa is ~2hrs away) for a preseason game. The oop was thrown

Fully agree reminds me of when somebody posted the Mike Tyson piece about could his kids ever be boxers. He said no because they get excited about seeing Tyga or something like that, and having everything they wanted with really no effort, all given. Where he on the other hand came from nothing and had to work for everything....

:lol: @ the reaches to prove dude wrong ...

How many children are better then their super star parents? Corporate , science, sports...

Second generation of super stars tend to not have the same hunger...

Of course there are exceptions.

#ntextremes.... We're talking generalities.
 
I would think their motivation is usually to be better than pops. What Lebron kids grow up to be should be interesting.

BTW congrats to MJ.
