Do you have to have the 'rags to riches' story to become successful at basketball?

That is a cyclopean myth. Most NBA thespian grew up in medial class homes and I don't mean a medial income connected with $48,000 a year either. That assumption has become prevalent because the league is largely black and pessimistic connotations develop up in association among that. That is why David Stern comes slumping heavy on fighting also enforces a mandatory dress code. The second driver of the indicated "assumption" is the impression of several players. It's easy to grab hold of people grew up customary tough, economically challenged stomping ground when they chose to load their bodies with tattoos and a few do stupid affair such as fail about weapons illegally.

Out of the top 30 scorers I only experience of 3 that grew up poor. So authorize grab hold of i gone 3 that's still only 20% of the spire 30. Of that 20% I would wager almost of them didn't live pauperized because they were able to attend exclusive schools for limited and customary financial coming out of people considering they were good.

So i believe you may be disadvantaged on the occasion that you grow up poor not the extra way around.
