Outside of the basketball court, we frequently talk about those who get too talented, too quickly. Some people grow up to be natural geniuses. However, these geniuses tend to coast on their talents and never become diligent or mature enough to fulfill their potential. Sometimes, they get surpassed by those of lesser talent, those who have learned to work even harder thanks to their lack of talent. “Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard.” That’s a saying that applies to today’s reality. No matter how much talent you have, hard workers will always trump your talent whenever you do not work half as hard as they do. In that regard, the best players we have seen in the history of the game tend to be the ones that worked the hardest. Michael Jordan, for all the different things that he did on the side, worked his tail off to become the greatest player of his generation. Kobe Bryant looked at Jordan and used what he learned to become the closest player to MJ we have ever seen in the history of the sport. Meanwhile, LeBron James ended up working hard on his body and conditioning to be able to play more than two decades of high-level basketball. And Stephen Curry became the greatest shooter in the history of the game because he worked hard on honing his craft.
