I think the players who are trying to fight for a spot, having to go from g/d league to short contracts in the NBA, having to constantly put out 100% in everything they do so they stand out, not knowing if they’ll play another game…. Those are the people I completely agree with that they are grinding and working hard. NBA players who are solid in the nba in terms of their contract, they don’t have to worry about going anywhere, that’s not a “grind” that’s just a job, a job that requires you playing a game and making millions.

It’s one of the most difficult things in the world to achieve, there is quite literally a barrier to entry just off height, so that eliminates 90% of population, then you take into account the fact there is only 400 players out of billions of people, it’s nearly impossible to make it, you have to survive injuries, and beat out competition, and naturally have height by default. It’s incredibly rare, which is why I respect those who make it, and got no respect for those who take it for granted, like bums like Ben simmons
