Is the Basketball Gene Real ?

Rondo and Schroder have same body type and they aren't same player

I thought OP was dead.

OP is Snake Plissken.

Rondo and Schroder have same body type and they aren't same player

but they are both in the NBA.

my son is definitely going to have the fapping gene.

I'm not sure if you're serious with this kind of thread and question, but once you realize that basketball is just an activity that requires a combination of certain simpler physical and mental traits that have existed forever and are well known to be genetically determined, the obvious answer is no, LeBron has as much of a "basketball gene" as some super athletic guy who lived 2,000 years ago did.

If someone has a combination of quick hands + fingers and a slow body + huge belly and so does his son, does this mean the TV gene is real?

Again , it's just an observation.
Just like in academics a lot of times

Maybe it's just the upbringing

You're only born with so much. Much of what you become is nurtured after birth.

NBA Players are born with superior genes compared to the average joe, and probably has much more opportunities, doesn't mean he's gonna be a better baller. You can have all the training facility/genes in the world and it won't matter shit if you don't have the heart for the game.

Lebron's kid looks good right now, but that could mean jack shit 10 years down the road when he realizes he's the son of Lebron James and starts ****ing around. You see so many kid actors that have so much potential fade out because they started ****ing around. MJ's kids we're good, but they didn't have don't he strive to be great ballers, instead wanted to work as a manager for Nike or some shit.

Look at one of Magic's son, fat as ****. Obviously didn't have heart for anything unlike his brother.

Don't think Kareem's sons did much with basketball either.

Usually it's the decent - not superstar players' sons that do well in the NBA, or even get in the NBA at all.
