These NBA Players Don't Love Basketball

Fifty percent of NBA

players

don't

love

playing

basketball

. I agree 100 with that statement. Pay attention. You will understand why they don't play. They don't

love

the game. There are approximately 450

players

in the NBA currently putting up that number. One perspective shows how exclusive 450 is. Numerous sources have stated that over 400 million humans play the sport of

basketball

and among the top 450 play in the National Basketball Association, that is absurd, so I have to believe that half of those 450 don't even do it. They love the game, they don't appreciate the sport that undoubtedly changed their lives and propelled many of them to stardom and this accusation is not coming from an angry fan who is angry after a poor performance that started with Patrick Beverly what percentage of gamers the NBA?

Do you think I don't love basketball? 50. How can you tell when someone doesn't love basketball? Most teammates I know don't love basketball. All really good ones. Do you love basketball? I think if I had a stronger word, 'It would be the word I pulled out. I prioritize basketball too much at one point, a veteran card who has played on many teams for a decade. Spin and someone who has earned a reputation for saying what he thinks, to say the least, without regard for what he may feel about them. This is the guy who started his career abroad, in Greece and Russia.

He could have left him at any time. Pat Bev honestly doesn't have the talent that a lot of guys in the NBA have, but he worked hard to achieve everything. accomplished, that's the kind of guy who can spot a faker, so saying that 50 professional players don't love the game is a statement I can believe without mentioning the credibility of the guys who have confirmed his claim, DeMar DeRozan, six times All-Star Paul George, eight-time All-Star, an obvious Hall of Famer, you want credible sources, these are sources you could use for a research paper, there is nothing more truthful than guys who have experienced all achievements in sport, Gilbert.

Arenas stepped in and that's a guy who went toe-to-toe with Kobe Bryant and I mean, he went toe-to-toe with the Mamba that he gave that man 60. It's a pretty extraordinary feat to top D Kobe Bryant, but get over it. even though he finished the game with 45, he is crazy, this guy definitely knows what he is talking about, do you agree with patbeth? because he doesn't love this, he only does it because he wants to take care of his family, yes, he wants to do it. because hey, they write checks, they do it well, they're writing checks, so he might as well go ahead and get it.

Which frustrates a guy like Patrick Beverly, who has to work day in and day out for every dollar he gets and you have a guy. who just sits there, you know, just comes to collect the check or if you're in the workplace and you're like man, if I knew the manager like him and all these hours that I put in and he just comes here and gets all these promotions. on the field, this example explains the situation perfectly, just remove the basketball element for a second, treat professional basketball like any other job, no one has a passion for being a cook, but there is a super league for cooks and they were .

Handing out seven-figure salaries, you would see many people dedicating their lives to the art of fry cooking. The one thing this example doesn't consider is the fact that NBA basketball isn't fry-cooking, it's basketball, a sport in which countless will participate. at any level, regardless of monetary gain because it's fun, something you could truly consider a passion, it's not cooking friar, not a soul wakes up on a Saturday afternoon, wincing at the opportunity to speed up the Friar, basketball It is not an organized job, sports in general. are more like the arts than an occupation, so this applies to any job, whether it's a fast food company, Blue Collar, none of those compare to playing a game, if you're watching this video, it's very You probably like that game and we are mere spectators.

How is it possible that half of the viewers don't like the game? It really sounds absurd, but if you look at the way some players act and go about their business, it's clear that I don't want to make a bull out of this. The modern era is a bad thing, but growing up in the era of social media, the last 20 years have seen an increase in the number of global NBA superstars and that increase has mostly meant positives for the league. More ambassadors for the game means more opportunities to draw eyes to the game than the NBA has ever seen. has been more international and the virality and connectivity of social media is a big part of that and when there are more people tuning into the games live or in person buying all the merchandise and reposting all the highlights, the wallet starts to get heavy and after the owners pocket their shares, they have to pay those ambassadors who made their pockets deep in the first place and the thing is those guys will get the purse and when the rest of the league sees the paychecks they Steph LeBron and KD are banking, they will want a piece of the pie and even after paying those Superstars a quarter of a billion dollars, there is a lot of residual pie left.

There are currently 151 players in the NBA who earn $10 million or more annually, excluding to some guys on their rookie contracts, that's pretty much everyone you'll see. Actually getting minutes on the court and a rookie contract is still lucrative, especially if you win the lottery, estimating that between 80 and 85 percent of those 151 have more than a hundred thousand followers on the Internet, which is not ecstasy from playing in front of tens of thousands every other night, five-star hotel accommodations before the games, private flights, personal trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists, chefs and all the other things an MBA card can give you, oh yeah, and millions of dollars and First of all, it's good for all of them, they deserve every penny, every penny, if the NBA generates all this revenue, then the players, the coaches, the front office, the commentators, the training staff, the staff doctor, arena workers, how to pick up balls, anyone I've ever had. a role to play in the success and growth of the NBA deserves to be paid if the boss is getting billions why can't the guy who generated those billions get a percentage and if that percentage turns out to be a few hundred of millions, the sum remains?

Justified unless people support the billionaires keeping all the money said the money the fame the cars the admiration and none of that has to do with basketball now tell me if that life doesn't sound great no matter what the hell you do if there is Era a super league for cooks and they paid like that. I would have been busting my butt at 13 trying to perfect the craft, so if it's something as fun as the game you'd play recreationally, why wouldn't you change it? Who cares if you really love it now? I'm not one to watch your pocketbook because these guys don't pay our bills no matter if they make a million or minimum wage, but you know who the young people are that are going to be in their position very soon they see the lifestyles that these live. professionals and are sure they want to follow in their footsteps look at the recruits in recent years compare these guys to their predecessors man these 19- to 20-year-olds wear designer suits and shoes Cartier Shades they have ice-style watches, Cuban sparkling rings and they haven't even won a chip, they haven't even stepped foot on a court and they move like Prime Iverson, but that's the attraction.

Gone are the days of baggy suits and struggling rookies. left the pitcher in high school, especially now without any endorsement, good for them, they earned it, athletes deserve the benefit of their image, but those things trickle down to other aspects. Mindsets emerge that cause a change in culture and the way the NBA pipeline is structured today, kids. They are at a disadvantage compared to children who have access to resources and the closure of the Expo. I mean look how many youngsters there are in the league, every single player you hear about had a pop that played in the league and that goes for any North American sport and the reason is the same reason a mechanical son has more possibilities of owning an automobile workshop than Carmelo's son.

If a kid doesn't go to all of these camps playing for a professional AAU team, he won't get the notoriety and guidance of the lucky ones. To do that, guess what happens when you have a league with guys that come from there, you have more opportunists than go-getters, is that one word in the past you wouldn't be at the college level if you didn't love the prospects of the game. those who played on the cement with double hoops without Nets every day until they became really good and had a growth spurt that was the passion. David Thompson played on a hoop made from a bicycle wheel.

Larry Bird played on a farm in the middle. out of nowhere Indiana escaped the war zone Lobby the hoop man Marcus Smart grew up in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in all of Texas saw his older brother hospitalized for abuse lost his other brother when he was nine someone he saw as a father figure and there is still more that I haven't mentioned all he had was basketball he is someone who loves the game these are the ones who raise basketball and would bleed for basketball and that doesn't even take into account aliens like Steph who was all like I mentioned some guys coming in are opportunists but if someone says Stephen Curry doesn't love basketball they will never take him seriously so there is still hope you don't have to have the hardest childhood to appreciate basketball it's beautiful . game, how can you not feel romantic putting a round thing in another round thing?

Or some kids can just wake up and skillfully put something in or take it out, and if they have such a natural gift, why not take advantage of it? They know they don't have it. They don't have to give everything. That man, half speed is enough. They don't have to work as hard as the Patrick Beverlys of the world. They can wake up, come to practice 20 minutes early, have a couple drinks and leave the building. As soon as that time limit hits, a guy like Pat Bev was getting shots 30 minutes before they arrived and Pat will pick them up an hour after they leave and they can come out and give you 20 cool points just because of their talent and that's annoying guys like Patrick Beverly Pat has to work twice as hard for everything he achieves, he has to work very hard because of his limitations and he remains a professional despite that because of his passion because he loves the game, but that's the sad nature from Things Half the League is Patrick Beverly's, the other half isn't, hey, I'm not one to accuse anyone in particular.

I'll leave it to the experts, the guys who play the game, and the random guys on Twitter, but there is a silver lining. cream always rises to the top because eventually those talents diminish against real skills, hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard and if you ever find a talent that loves basketball you better watch out because it's a unstoppable mother this is really an idea of ​​The good, the bad and the ugly of the game just because you may love the game doesn't mean the game will love you too thanks for watching.
