Norman Powell explains the sacrifices behind making it to the NBA, revealing that the lifestyle people associate with professional basketball players comes only after years of hard work, discipline and giving things up. Powell says people often assume being an NBA player is all about partying, expensive jewelry and enjoying luxury, but they rarely see the commitment that comes before those moments. He explains that the work always comes first, even when people eventually see players enjoying the rewards. He also opens up about sacrificing family and social time from a young age, being misunderstood and sometimes mocked for choosing the gym over parties and hanging out with friends. Growing up, people even thought he was delusional for believing he could make it to the NBA, but he never gave up on that dream.
