    You’re not considering all the extra curricular activities that come with being an NBA player thought. All the travelling and being away from your family half the year, all the media interviews where they repeat the sane points 95% of the time, the training and diet to maintain NBA-level fitness. Doing that for a single season is a grind, let alone having the mental capacity to do that for 22 years at the highest level.

        That’s my point. These guys are living bad ass lives doing what everyone would want to do. It’s never a psychotic pursuit. That’s wildly soft thinking and not surprising seeing it here on Reddit.

        Even when it becomes a chore it’s never a proper grind. It’s fun. Playing a game and practicing that game is fun. Working on your skills is fun. I can understand that it can be daunting at times but dudes calling it a psychopathic pursuit I think is a bit much.

        Like you said grinding in a coal mine is a psychotic pursuit bc it’s killing you slowly. These NBA dudes stay in shape, get paid millions, fuck whatever they want and play the game they love to play all while creating generational wealth. And even if they hate the game they’re getting paid so much who tf cares?
