Ray, was a gangly kid that grew up on military bases across the world until he and his family settled in South Carolina. He was an outsider and awkward because he had seen more countries by the time he was 15 then more kids will see in their whole lives. He got extremely focused on basketball around 14 or 15 and happened to hit a growth spurt and through his work ethic became a pretty darn good player. I am not saying he does not have the intangibles but telling kids to work hard and dream should just not be chalked up as gibberish.. Just saying. Here are few names.. Steve Nash, Rajon Rhondo, Derek Fisher, Rod Strickland, and we can go on and on these dudes were under 6"5... All these guys are great athletes with great talent and at some point a pretty good work ethic, but according to your standards because they are not 6'5 or above they should not work hard or believe in a dreaming??
Man look, let a kid dream whatever dream they want. Reality catches up with folks sooner or later but I think what Ray was saying put in the work, something good will come out of it and it might be basketball. My opinion..
