But I do have a bone to pick.
I always say that when you saw Larry Bird you probably saw only one of him, When you saw Jordan there was probably three of him that you never saw, When You saw Magic Johnson there was probably five of him that you never saw
My meaning:
It depends on what color you were,were you were brought up,how you were
raised etc..etc..,the cream does not always rise to the top sometimes it gets flat before it gets there.

Yes that floating is called "experience". That's why Pete Rose was referenced, to look at the guy one would not possibly imagine that he was of such character. He was an average guy that rose to the top because of sheer will and determination, as his real talent was more mental than physical. The world is packed full of talented people, but it takes that little "extra" to rise above the crowd, and that can not be taught, as it is ingrained into the personality. BD
