Imagine being McGee in high school. He was only an average joe in the NBA. He was valedictorian caliber academically, 7 ft/good looking, and probably the best hooper his school had ever seen. Crazy.
That’s actually crazy impressive. Even gpas all the way up to a 4.0 is easy bc high school is not that hard and you can take the bare minimum level classes needed to graduate and earn an A in them. But to have 4.5 you must have been taking AP classes, like a lot of AP classes, and excelling in them. Not even some elite students that go to the most prestigious schools get that kinda gpa. He must have been really smart and also put in the work in academics

Same with college gpas tbh. It's much more a metric of the effort you're willing to put in. The effort required may not be the same for everyone but most people could do a 3.5 in college if they put the energy into it.

Well having a high gpa don’t mean you don’t think your being lied to. And that all it take to believe that. Man believes the pictures and videos are faked. The only way to change he’s mind is to prove they aren’t. What does believing your being lied to have to do with GPA? Answer: It don’t got anything to do with it.
You see. Gpa kind does equate to how hard you work in any Field. If you do something you don’t wanna do good imagine how you do when u do something you love.
The players that got good grades were Fr smart. If they didn’t make the league they were def gonna succeed in school. Was surprised westbrooks gpa was so high at first, but then remembered dude is actually pretty business savvy
It's 4.0, but some public high schools (public secondary schools) weigh certain classes more (specifically Honors or AP courses) by applying a curve, which makes it possible to achieve greater than 4.0 if you attend the right school. That's usually not the case in private schools. In university, the highest you can achieve is 4.0. Good question
You might hate hearing this since you yourself don't even know why you think the Earth is spherical, but thinking the Earth is flat doesn't mean you're completely retarded. It has more to do with upbringing
Javale definitely got that ADHD - can prob write a damn good essay and come up with great project ideas, but can’t focus for more than ten seconds at a time hence the Shaqtin
@@Corb13someone in my school had a 7. And teachers would always talk about him but he graduated a long time ago so the education system might have been outdated back then but I also thought the max gpa would be 4.0
In the inner city you get a 3.5 GPA just for being able to write your name. I’m a teacher in Baltimore and have seen it firsthand countless times. Don’t take the figures at face value.
My friend slept in every class every day of the week and graduated with a 3.0. He averaged about 27-28 points per game and finished as our school's all time leading scorer with over 2,000 points. This is how it is for most star ballers in high school lol
I know a lot of athletes with brains… I also know a lot of athletes that were given decent grades so all the GPAs being nearly identical makes a lot of sense.
