I played hours and hours per day, days and days on end. I played so much that my fingertips used to bleed. Lazy players making 50 million dollars a year just ... baffle me.
These players play much harder than you ever did.
They also have played thousands of games growing up. At a much higher level than you ever did.

They train every offseason harder than you ever did.
They practice in between games and get work in between games.

Once again you use your YMCA career to compare yourself to a professional basketball player.
Once again you embarrass yourself.

Just stop
