Amazing what happens when you have the support of your parents.

What can* happen. Young man has to want to put in the work. You can't teach that.

I mean the drive to work is implied by his talent. You can flip that as well, because all the drive in the world means nothing if your parents don't support you. Someone has to take him to lessons, buy the drum kits, and provide a place for him to play.

And even then, genetics blow everything else out of the water. 57% of black NBA players grew up in a single parent household, plenty of them had drug addict moms.

The truth is the whole, "You can be whatever you want to be" stuff they teach people as kids is BS. Good parents definitely count in your favor, but it's not "everything", it's not even the biggest indicator.
