I am becoming more and more convinced that it is all pre-ordained.   You are either talented enough to succeed in the NBA or not.   A [B]very few[/B] guys work themselves into position to be terrific NBA players.   For that reason, and for most everyone, it is important to gauge when the most money is likely to be available for you.    If it is available today, you go.    If it isn't available today, you stick and try to improve your game and convince the talent scouts that you are worth throwing money at.

We always looks at the paths to success from the point of those have succeeded and try to extrapolate what guys who did not succeed should have done differently based on the success of those that did succeed.    Unfortunately the component that can never be measured is the simple difference in talent.

Far, far, far more guys never make it than do.    Would it matter if they took a different approach; left earlier, stayed longer, worked harder??    Probably not, they simply don't have the talent and ability of the guys that did make it.
