The NBA Stars Who Could Learn Some Streetball Lessons

If you were a superstar athlete and grew up playing high school basketball anytime after 1990, you probably didn?t have to play a ton of basketball outdoors and at your neighborhood park. That?s why some of today?s greats have holes in their games that players of yesteryear didn?t have. From coming up in a less coddled age, old school players learned to shoot on shoddy rims, withstand 90 degree temperatures and actually take it to the post.
