007: You Can’t Beat Pistol Pete
The greatest college basketball player stat-wise ever, Pistol Pete Maravich, did not translate
into a great NBA player. Same is true with many great college football players. You see this in youth sports too, even at very young ages. My daughter plays AAU ball, and there is a girl on her team that is not real great right now, but I predict will become dominant at some point and will play college athletics. Part of that is blood lines that I know about, but you can see it in her body, her occasional fluid movements that transcend the others, and things like that. Morrison suffered an injury, so give him a bit more time. Reddick has no real excuse.
Question: Were you a decent athlete as a kid? Or a late bloomer?
