## Resource

Draymond Green drops a fiery take on basketball’s evolution, calling it a “rich man’s game” now — where elite training and coaching come at a steep cost, leaving kids without means behind. He contrasts today’s hyper-specialized, drill-driven development with the raw, street-smart creativity forged in pickup games of yesteryear. While he admits trainers are vital for modern success, he worries the old-school hustle — learning by doing, adapting on the fly — is fading. That loss, he argues, could shrink the pool of self-made legends like LeBron, as financial access becomes the new gatekeeper to greatness.
