Which nba player had a story life of some how making the nba in a impossible way?

Question

like is there players out there that sucked really bad in highshool or struggled in school or something like that and made the nba in a magical way??? please explain so i can think that i might make the nba i am good but im like division 3 level college baller .

Answer 1

Chauncey Billups bounced around in the league, like 5 teams in the beginning of his career, like the nuggets, t-wolves, celtics, until he found his niche on the detroit pistons and has since become one of the best point guards in the nba.

Gilbert Arenas- went really far in the draft until he got picked, and no one really saw him become the player that he is today!

You just have to believe in yourself man! Don't let anyone tell you that you can't play in the nba. Just work hard on your game and hopefully you will make it one day! Good luck

Answer 2

Steve Francis, he never really shined out in HS, in fact, he only played until his Soph. year(and only started once) but he turned out to be good in Maryland. then an above-average NBA player (minus the injuries would've been a great player, but he was a 3time allstar).

Answer 3

Jamaal Tinsley is a good example.  He NEVER played high school basketball.  In fact, he DROPPED OUT of high school.  His only basketball experience was playing streetball.  Realizing dropping out was a mistake, Tinsley earned his GED and made the roster of a JUCO team.  After 2 years of JUCO ball, transferred to Iowa State, 2 years later get drafted into the NBA and the rest is history.  If a high school dropout streetballer like Tinsley can get in the NBA, that's a good lesson that anyone can get a shot at the bigtime if they work their butt off.

Answer 4

Ok.

There was once a boy who thinks he is good. He is a division 3 level college baller. And he was searching for a story that would give him hope in making the NBA. But the real thing is he sucks and he will suck throughout his college basketball career. But he will make it in the NBA.....as a 12th man for the Clippers.

End of story.  

Answer 5

I dunno what you mean !

Answer 6

-Gilbert Arenas. His jersey number tells the story.

-Michael Redd. I don't know how he can go so deep in the draft and turn out to be a franchise player.

-Yao Ming. Watch The Year of the Yao.
