Genetics and hard work rarely do you make any professional sports league on just genetics alone if you do you don’t last long. Genetics are the key to entry but if you’re lazy you fade away quick everyone at that level is a genetic freak.

They’re both 6ft+ agile mobile for their size{especially Shai whose 6’7 most guys shai height can barely function) and got great hand eye coordination, reflexes etc their genetic blessings aren’t as obvious as a Vince Carter or Ja Morant but definitely top 1%

They just play a fuck ton. I don't think training is necessary but theyre prolly on a city team or some shit along with playing in school and aau.

being strong asf is build through habits and training, it being "not as obvious" shows its not the genes its the gym. Along with shai

to what extent tho? because doing what they do isnt just genes. Wouldnt it work like a starter pack in like a video game or something, helps with groundwork

you can be slow twitch athletic and fast twitch athletic lol. some ppl can be power lifters and some ppl are more explosive sprinters/leapers. NBA players are not lifting weights like that lol. if you are 6'2 and known for scoring in the paint being on balance when dudes 5' taller than you are bodying you have to be naturally strong especially at that level.

As for shai. That niggas just quick jfl. long as well he just covers so much space tbh. NBA is not just skill its developing skills and play styles around your natural gifts.

Its hard to view athleticism when its not dunking unless you have an eye for the game
