Can I become good at a sport if I start late?

[iblamepersonnality]

Like many incels, I didn’t grow up being particularly athletic or sporty (I was overweight), so I never really played any sports growing up, even though I think it’s really important to do that kind of shit.

I’m 19 now, and I’d like to start playing basketball so I can be more NT and maybe make some friends through it. I want to find a hobby. I don’t want to become a professional, but I’d like to get good enough to play with other guys and maybe earn some respect through it. ( also im only 183cm so 6ft)

Yes if you are talented. No need to go professional just socialize.

basketball is one of the only ones where pro is possible at late ages with not much experience

normally u want to have grown up fit and be like 7 foot tall though

Definitely if you’re just trying to be casually good. A couple months at most to be decent at basketball

So yes you're probably gonna be fine for casual if you put in the work

Nothing is impossible; what matters most is your obsession. (In particular, your predisposition for the sport and your genetics play a decisive role)

Idk if im talented Given that I am a fat piece of shit since childhood who has never practiced any sport (I blame a lot of parents for that) but I will try and train a lot I do not want to become excellent just have an acceptable level to play with other people

genetics are the only way to become good.

I dont want to be pro i just want to be good enough to play with another people , make friend and just find a hobbit and not just bedrotting all day , also other people ur age treat unathletic people like shit

No it's not, good doesn't mean professional, just means better than most. Which anyone can reach unless you have a severe disability or smt.

 

[Tall midwit]

You definitely can be good at a later age, keep in mind most normies don't really train they just played a lot with their friends. If you train like four times a day consistently you'll be good at it and better than most people

just practice everyday the core fundamentals - since you've never played sports growing up you may be a bit uncoordinated. and to be honest basketball is kind of harder to get into later in life and get decently good especially without any athleticism prior. i'd recommend racket sports or like rock climbing not trying to discourage you though basketball is fun as fuck, just play everyday
