GREAT BASKETBALL PLAYERS ARE BORN, NOT MADE --- DO YOU AGREE?

Really, if they are made, then we should make Mark Caguiao a Seven Footer... hehehe,
But I don't think so... Players are born bro...

If Mark Caguioa didn't opt to be a ball player, will he be one? No one is born to be a ball player or to be destined to be what he is when he grows up. It's all about choices, determination and constant practice. If they're indeed born to be stars, then di na kinahanglan magpractice.

There are person's who are blessed w/ heights over 6'3.. yet they are not incline to basketball... gays/models are some of the examples that have pick other professions aside from basketball

Depende ra jud na sa imong inkling ug constant exposure... if naanad ka nga mag watch imong family always into basketball and you have the drive to know and learn it by heart.. then one day.. w/ great perseverance and determination.. you might be a great basketball player in your own right...

"Your desire is strong but your body cannot!"

It just doesn't make sense, players cannot be made...

No matter how big your heart is and you're only 5'3" , going to the PBA or NBA is highly improbable...

Earl Boykins? Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues? Anthony "Spud" Webb? Nate Robinson? These guys are 5'5, 5'3, 5'6 and 5'9 respectively. These guys doesn't have the height but they've got the skills. It's through constant and proper practice and training that they've got that far. Was Spud Webb and Nate Robinson born and already leaped that high? Earl Boykins with his speed? Muggsy Bogues with his court antics? Basketball is not just all about height, it's using everything to your advantage, proper decision making ang sticking to what you do best come gametime. Allen Iverson at 6'1? Who would've thought he'll become a relentless scorer and an MVP?

Speaking of NBA height, Americans (black Hispanics, as to more prevalent in the NBA) stands about 5'10 (average for a black American), and to be an NBA Player, you've got to be a lot taller than that, ideally. NBA's average height is somewhere about 6'7-6'8. How come these little guys stood out?

take for example yao ming.. yeah sure he's all hyped and all people outside the playing court envy and admires he's height and all that....

but tell me when he goes to playing in the NBA.. do all his opponents, bastketball stars in their own fields, respect him? darn NOT.. they can quickly outmanuever him out and even dunk the ball right infront of his face. Whoaah!!.. even if they are 2 inches or 5 inches shorter than him....

hahaha.. you may be born w/ great height and everything.. but it doesnt take you far if you don't have raw talent to go w/ it.
