Do you know anyone who almost made it into a major sport?

Do you guys know anyone who might have made it into a major sport? I always liked to think my cousin, who is a bit older than me, could have played great in the NBA, but he never stuck with it as I think he had a bad knee and I don't think he could have gone too far anyway. But it was cool knowing someone who had some skills in a sport, and he was pretty good, could hit nearly ever shot when I saw him play.

Do you know anyone who could have played pro or maybe even did?

I only know of one person that has and it was not me. I am not built for sports. I never played any growing up. My brother did and he was good at it and likely would have made it to the NFL if he didn't get injured in 12th grade.

There are some footballers in our national team I used to know when I was a kid. I never knew they were going to make it into the national team. They were able to reach that height because of how successful they were in the club teams.

Also I have known so many good players around me growing up who were very skilled in playing soccer but some could not as a result of injury

I'm very familiar with some of the Nigerian footballers who are now successful in their respective clubs in Europe. I knew when they all started before they become superstars. Players like Victor Oshimen, Onazi and Chukwu eze are all my boyhood friends.

I used to have a very good friend from my city and he is a great player and he is still trying to reach the top in football, but he has a hearing problem, so many teams want to take him, but I have seen him play in person and I think he could play in top team of my country
