    Talent only gets you so far, amigo. It is the hard training that gets you the extra distance, so to speak. Lots and lots of people out there with talent. Really, there are lots and lots of 15 year old (males) with the talent to make the Olympics? Or 6-6 guys who can dunk from the freethrow line and bench press 400 pounds (Jordan, and yes there are 2 dozen people who can dunk from the freethrow line, but I can outbench Kevin Durant). And Bo Jackson, who benched 350lbs the first time he ever sat down and tried it out, there are lots of guys like that (being an Auburn guy Geek I assume you've read this before about Bo)? REALLY? Where? PS: The myth that Jordan got there on hard work is the biggest joke around.
