Here is a preview of what is inside this An excerpt from this Giannis biography The NBA loves rags to riches stories about how a person that lived and grew up in poverty worked to get to the league not only as an ordinary player but as a superstar ranking among the best in the world. These are the stories that make people adore the player and what he has been through to get to the top. More importantly these are the stories that inspire young children to work just as hard if not harder than their idol to reach the success that they aspire to achieve. Several of the greatest players in league history have had to endure poverty before they found success in the NBA. Allen Iverson barely had a home growing up before he starred at Georgetown. In his MVP speech back in 2014 Kevin Durant said that his mother raised him and his brother alone while the family moved from roof to roof. The same was true for LeBron James who was raised alone by his mother when she was only 16 years old. These players not only earned millions as NBA superstars but have also become fan favorites because of how they worked their way up to get to the league. Likewise the NBA has also found a liking for players that were seemingly genetically engineered to dominate in basketball. These are the players that at a glance were naturally destined to be great because of the physical tools they possess. If the NBA was a horse race these players are your thoroughbreds judging by how much more physically gifted and talented they are than the rest of the competition. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
