    Look bro just keep your head up and keep on striving to be the best you can be.There's alot of people that doubt me and say i'm not going to make it,even my own coach.But I keep my head up,Just keep practicing and hang in there,you'll get better.Because I got better after playing my first year,just be confident in yourself.

    4. you should just work as hard as u can a make your skills progress to the point where your bro is not saying that and just keep working hard and practicing and you'll make it 2 the NBA

    5. Thousands of people try to get to the NBA. It is a very hard goal to achieve so you will have to devote almost all of your time to practicing and if you have a lot of natural talent you might have a chance.

    You just have to practice hard and keep trying your best. I am not that great but I am doing my best to be better. And that is all you can do.

    You just need to do the best you can do, and practice to the best of your abilities. It wasn't easy and still is not. But you just have to keep pressing on.

    just keep practicing man, my friends and family say i'm not going to make make it either. just practicing all that you can and like La'quan said go to your local rec centers and play with the older guys and get more practice. i've been going to my local university most of the summer and playing with a bunch of older guys and i have gotten a lot better. so just practice and prove the people that are telling you you won't make it wrong.

    you can do it if you try hard enough but if you dont put youself into it and force yourself to get better than you wont make it but if you practice every single day and get better than you can make it.

    Practice hard. Use wat he says about you as motivation. If he tells you you won't make it, work harder and harder each time and over exert yourself. The more and more you work and the harder and harder you train, the easier and easier it will be to make the nba.
