What are some MYTHS about the NBA? The TRUTH nobody talks about!
00:00:00.480 | Okay, so interesting.
00:00:01.520 | Somebody said, what are some of the myths about the NBA?
00:00:04.800 | Man, I think this was a myth for me coming in something I believe.
00:00:13.120 | But I think it's also a misconception that a lot of people believe.
00:00:16.280 | And it's that everybody like works really, really hard.
00:00:21.960 | I think like you have to be talented and you have to be gifted and
00:00:26.560 | you have to work hard to get here.
00:00:28.400 | But a lot of people don't work on their game, don't work on their bodies,
00:00:32.640 | don't work on staying healthy, don't put the time in recovery as much as you would think.
00:00:37.880 | Like I have always been, as you know, super, super like dedicated.
00:00:43.760 | And I love to work hard, but I feel like that's not the case for every NBA player.
00:00:51.240 | I think I also was forced into it with my injury situation.
00:00:54.380 | I had to take care of my body.
00:00:55.540 | I had to get my recovery in and all that.
00:00:57.720 | But yeah, I think that's the misconception.
00:01:00.960 | Because even people that I worked with in Denver, they would see me in the gym every night.
00:01:07.200 | And they would say like, man, before I got to the NBA and before I was working with NBA players,
00:01:11.540 | I thought everybody worked hard like you do.
00:01:14.960 | And I was like, me too.
00:01:15.960 | I thought the same thing.
00:01:16.960 | But, you know, there's a lot of talented players, a lot of gifted players.
00:01:20.700 | But I think that would be the misconception that is not always true.
00:01:25.440 | Now, you got the dudes that are super dedicated.
00:01:27.360 | Bron has been in the league 20 years, I've heard, 20 some years.
00:01:31.320 | His body, like, you have the dudes that are tremendous workers.
00:01:34.960 | But you also have the dudes that are chilling for real, you know?
00:01:37.640 | And especially, sometimes once you get paid, you know, you see guys kind of chill out a little bit.
