      Mac could make it big overseas, or with a RUclips channel as well. But he doesn't want to sell out on what he knows he is capable of, so he dedicates all of his time into becoming an nba player that can contribute to a teams chances of winning games. He's going to see this thing through, or at least give it every shot he can. Doubted or not doubted, he can do all things through Christ who gives him strength.. 💪🏼
      Hebrews 11:1 NIV
      Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

      @@nellustylejeb7210 nah, hops are like a dime a dozen in basketball in reality. There are a lot of dudes who can run fast, jump high, or go from 0-100 in the blink of an eye. Almost every single guy in the NBA is a one of a kind athlete in some capacity, what separates them and keeps them in the league is what they can actually do on the court. The average male vertical jump is around 20 inches, Steph's vertical (a player who is seen as "unathletic" by NBA standards) is 35 1/2 inches.
      All the great players like Jordan, Kobe, Curry, Lebron, etc. aren't great because of their athletic gifts, they're great because of their complete package of actual basketball skill and knowledge. The athletic gifts are just like a cherry on top that gives them a unique advantage, Like Steph's ability to run endlessly without breaking a sweat, Lebron's strength, or Giannis's size, but strip any of those players of their skill and they'd be nothing in the NBA. There's a reason Jordan never seemed to age, and LeBron can still play at an elite level almost at the age of 40. Even when their athletic abilities began to drop off they still had/have the skill to do whatever they want with a basketball.

His outlook, his humbleness, his passion for hard work, his hunger, his underdog status, and his ability to grow quickly, perfect weaknesses, and baffle the doubters. And now, he's playing for Philadelphia too! Also, he broke Iverson's record in highschool so maybe philly really is the place for him to do some more exciting things? I will NOT be surprised one bit if this kid becomes an all star.

I can see some excellent discussions and digging deep kind of podcasts once you take that plunge. Players respect you and you have a message, a brand, a following. So grow with it. The showing ball skills segments are fun, but just feel you should know you can hold your own with the talks off a court, no schticks or gimmicks needed.
