Yep, putting the time is almost always necessary. And that's practice time, not time spent wishing or complaining 😆

On the subject of basketball I am a big fan of Curry, who is certainly a gifted athlete but maybe not as much so as many of the other top players, at least in the traditional sense. I find it really interesting how his combination of practice, dedication, and finding a niche allowed him to succeed at the highest levels, so much so that it shifted what many people think of as a "great" basketball player.
