He ain't wanna play ball after all ha?
You done wasted your bread ha?
You think all these kids weak in the head ha?
You mad at what his mama said ha?
Thirteen is too old to BEGIN getting serious about ANY sport. This was over before it started.
What age did Tim Duncan get serious about basketball?
not only that Duncan was always involved in athletics and was a championship swimmer..
but you ever notice mofokrs always looking for the exception ?
If you said most rainy days are cloudy these mofokrs will write a paragraph about a sunshower.

Dude is far behind, but I told him that the NBA, while not impossible, would've been a really, really long shot. Of course, you can't predict major growth spurts, or incredible leaps in development.
You killed his dream right there before he started..........
Mofos want to help but the wrong shit comes out your mouth.
Every excellent human being has similar odds in every field.
Engineering? Same shit
Programming? Same shit
Author? Same shit
Physician? Same shit
You killed this kids dream before it started.
It could have been a lesson on hard work and giving your best, a bonding moment, a mentoring moment that would take him through life.
Sometimes it not all about WHAT you do but HOW you do it.
You failed.

Man, stay the fuck out of my threads.
You always come in with some overly critical shit.
I don't need your input on a damn thing.
Ironically that is what that boy's mother told you but in a polite way.
Taking about "really really long shot", overly critical shit
See how you felt about that?
Touche!
Eat your humble pie and admit you fucked up and stop your bloodclot crying!

Kaya, get your life together, bro'.
never trust the word of anyone today under 21 especially if it involves hard work. I learned this first hand. I feel your pain. A nation of bitch-boys indeed.
nigga you thought u was gonna get that nigga to the NBA and be chilling for the rest of your life ha?![]()

It happened to me a few times with my daughter till I learned to make her invest in her own ideas.
When you really want something you will do whatever it takes to get on your path. Make sure they invest time, sweat or money before you do.
Once a friend's kid asked me to help her with money for college. Knowing her and her worthless mother very well I agreed to help her. The deal is simple -- I'm not paying for school but I will help by matching every dollar she got with two dollars for when she is ready to register for class.
It didn't cost me a dime
And I got some ass off her Mom for "helping".
Yeah the part that is telling is that the mother cosigned the quitting.....
You have to make sure that they are hungry before you invest......
I can admit to some level of over-eagerness.
He seemed so serious when I made him promise his mother and I. You would've had to have been there. I stressed to him many times that basketball would require more dedication than he's accustomed to giving if he really wanted to go somewhere with it.
Because I know kids, I would dismiss him saying he was serious in the past. However, he started begging me to help him. I caved. I gave him a long speech, and then made him promise his mother and I...
...after THAT, I figured he was serious, and that was it.
It didn't seem like much of a gamble.
Most kids don't BEG someone to train them.

You couldn't just take him to a basketball court at the park? You bought a backboard/goal? That's extreme.
They ALL beg. Whatever they want at that moment is the only thing in life they'll ever want ... In their heads.
SupremeExtremist had that boy out there on that 10k jumpshots a day plan, knees going to be fucked up before he can even drive a car.![]()

...and guess whose mother called me on the way to work this morning talking about he said he wish he didn't quit?
I read that Kevin Durant's briefly quit on the man who trained him as a youngster.
If I take him back on, we're going to have to have a 'Hell Day' to test his resolve. Best to do that now, to save both of us from wasting our time.
That's if he calls back. I told his mother to tell him, if he thinks he's serious this time, tell him to call me.
So, we'll see.

Now I'm calling BS...
Who would really go back into the fire like that? And they aren't your kid?! That's like going back to an ex who said they got tired of you, then they say "Oh, I was on my period, my hormones were out of whack."
Is this supposed to be the test run for your actual children, SupremeExtremist?

...well, look at it this way, I'm going to make some mistakes starting out, but it's not as if anyone else was going to help. I know a lot, but I need to know more...
...and I plan to be ultra polished by the time I have my children.
My cousin swore on a Bible that he wanted to work towards playing college basketball, and if it works out, play in the NBA. Mind you, he's 13, not that tall, not overly talented or athletic. I was willing to overlook all of that, because he told me so many times that he wanted me to work with him, and I told him I didn't want to waste my time, because he wasn't serious. He begged me to help, and I caved in.
I told him that if he is willing to do what I tell him, I could make him a standout player in his area, easily.
I went out and purchased a qoal with a glass backboard. That shit was not fucking cheap. Got him TWO NBA balls, and some gear to workout in. I made him swear to me and his mother that he would stick with it, and practice hard.
We were supposed to train yesterday, but his mother said he was sick. I didn't think anything of it, so I let it go. Today, I called to see how he was doing and his mother, all casual and shit said, 'He doesn't want to play basketball anymore'.
I was like, 'What? Are you telling me he made me buy all of that stuff, and he threw his goal away after ONE DAY???'
She got defensive and said he needs to focus on his education, and basketball was a waste of time.
We exchanged a few heated words, and I told her that I'm coming to take all of my shit back. I bought this dude so much stuff...
...and he just flaked out on me completely after one fucking session. ONE FUCKING SESSION AFTER ALL THAT SHIT HE TALKED!
How the fuck do you quit after the first fucking day?
We're raising a nation of bitches!!!
not only that Duncan was always involved in athletics and was a championship swimmer..
