There does seem to be something magic about the 10,000 hours, but I'm never, no matter how much time and effort I spend, going to be able to compete on the NBA floor. I'm neither tall enough nor have the build, structure, and genetics to be quick enough. 10,000 hours of training won't make me quick enough.
