I hate being negative but wow I’m tired of everything sucking. People, traffic, quality and prices of everything, etc etc etc.

Anthony Davis says he grew from 6’3” to 6’10” in 3 months, rolled his ankle 6 minutes into his first ever AAU game, and told his dad he wasn’t good enough
“So I was 6’3” basically my entire life. Going into my junior year of high school I grew 7 inches. I went from 6’3” to 6’10”. In one summer. Not even a year, in 3 months”
“I try out, you know, I’m playing local basketball… to me I’m really good. And then I go for this AAU team, this Nike guy approaches my dad like, ‘Hey, we want your son to play for our AAU team.’ My dad’s like, ‘Give it a try’”
“And I go out to the tryouts, and these guys are running faster, jumping higher than me, making and blocking shots, stronger. And on my mind I stand no chance. As we get in the car, I said, ‘I quit. I don’t want to play AAU basketball’”
“He said, ‘Play the first tournament. Let’s see how it goes.’ First tournament is that weekend. The very first game is against LeBron’s team”
“I was 17 years old. The first 6 minutes of the game, I roll my ankle. So I only play 6 minutes. I roll my ankle so bad, I’m out for the rest of the weekend, and I have 6 points, 6 rebounds, and like 3 blocks. Done for the tournament, this is why I didn’t want to play”

It’s been all downhill since then.
