Is being good at basketball in genetics?

Sports is not part of our dhaqan, my parents saw Football or any sports as waste of time, when I did a little Boxing my dad actually wanted to kick my out of the house, so maybe, just maybe thats why we don't see Somalis taking over the different sport leagues.

and also alot of somalis lack the extreme discipline needed for professional sports like boxing.

if you're tall and have fast twitch muscle fibers, you have a head start against others. Usually both those factors are passed down

You need to start at an early age, preferably around puberty and practice like crazy to become a Pro. We have good genetics for it but we don’t put in the work or have a shitty diet

It’s possible but let’s be honest, no one puts in the work for it.

My Uncle was a skinny geeljire in his 20s and 10 years later he’s a massive body builder.
If you put in the work, avoid injuries, have good tall genetics, network right and get into good schools you’ll at least get the opportunity to play ball. Even then it’s easier to become a medical surgeon then get into the NBA.

if Knaan can be a rap star, Mo Farah can be an olympian and “mr. I’m the captain” now fella can make it in Hollywood then I believe a Somali can make it into the NBA. It simply comes down to if you want it badly enough

Might be the first Somali in the nba
