Yeah genetics are very important. In HS I trained like an animal and still sucked at my sport while the lazy fucks excelled.

Sporting ability is definitely very much genetic. There used to be a commentator for our national sports call Micheal O’ Muircheartaigh who bled GAA. He seemed to know the family backgrounds of every top level player in the country, and it was always “his father was a fine wexford hurler, and his uncle a Kerry football star in his day” - and it was that kinda thing for every player. Becomes quickly obvious that a background of sports stars will produce more stars. His best line ever though was about a fantastic Cork hurler called Sean Og O’ Haplin - “his father from Fermanagh, his mother from Fiji. Neither of them strong hurling counties.”

I worked and improved drastically... I was very athletic for a white guy could dunk about a foot inside the free throw line. I've posted the video before pm me if ya really don't believe me.. that was after an ankle surgery if I had not had that surgery I think I would have been able to get close to free throw line.. 6 foot 2...

Anyways point being black guy comes in as a freshman 6 foot 6 skinny and not strong could dunk from the free throw line off the dribble I know he didn't work hard at all... he cried like a bitch when he was forced to loft weights.

Another 6 foot 5 guy from Chicago black guy was close to as strong as me as a freshmen and I had been lifting hard for 4 years it was my sophomore year bit I redshirt I was 21.. pissed me off they had no self work ethic it was all forced on them

Dunking at 6-2 is pretty damn good from close to the foul line, man. Good on you!

U make me want 5o post the video again.. ahh fuck it here it goes

This was after a pretty serious ankle surgery on my left foot before my senior year then another one as a sophomore to clean bone spurs out ... I was probably 22 or so a junior in college... I was for sure jumping higher then this before the 2nd surgery... I would win dunk contest at hoop it ups... if I was young with all this dunk contest stuff I probably would have been a known name.
