At what age did you stop thinking you were going to play in the NBA

[eyeh8u]

throughout elementary i was the best in my school, (it was a highly gifted school), then in jr high during lunch, i was the best point man, throwing alleyoop layups to my friends.

Then second week in highschool, basketball try outs, i made it to day 3, about 30 kids left, we split up into teams, and for the first time we had coaches telling us what to do. Coach made me a SF went i never touched the ball then whole game. "Coach told me to be more aggressive" i got mad as i took the ball kicked into the empty stands and left. I realized i was never gonna play in the nba

15 when I knew the dream was over.

I had doubts in 8th grade when I tore my knee up the first time. Then in 9th grade tore the same knee up worse. That's when the dream officially died.

What sucks is in 2 weeks having the same knee operated on for the 3rd time.

I had a couple of college scouts that would stay and watch me after they came to see a senior at my school. I was 14 and thought I was badass because I out rebounded the 6'6 6'7 guys and I could dunk. I really thought I was going to end up at UT then two highschools and two tore up knees later I figured it wasn't going to happen.

16...I had always hoped for a Dana Barros, Jeff Hornacek type of role on some team but then I realized my dribble was way too high.

That's something pretty simple to correct if that's ALL thats keeping you from the NBA
