Shane Battier has size and intelligence, but is not extremely gifted athletically - compared to others at his level. He got where he is, the NBA, with years of hard work. When he was 12 years old he set as his ultimate goal, becoming an NBA player. Sure, a lot of kids say that. Shane Battier developed a personal regimen that he followed for years to turn himself into an elite player. When he began his college career at Duke he was known as a tremendous defensive player. Over the years he developed into an above average offensive player.
