from australia, to make it in the nba u gotta go play college. its not that hard, if ur good enough u will gte in. lots of rep teams trade their best players to america for a few years. at the moment we got CJ massinggale and Lester Strong from washington if any of u guys no them. CJ is pretty much nba material and is the best shooter i have ever seen. so really its not too hard to get to america with bball, u just gotta have the skills. and for those who arent athleticaly gifted or physically gifted, then yes it will be harder. im lucky because im gifted physically ( runs in the family ) and im going to be around 6'3, the average height for a point guard. so there is still hope. never give up on yourselves, even though people might be better than u now, u can still be better than them, u might not go pro, but u got something to aim for. i mean MJ didnt even make his school team, so there is hope for almost every1. i know its very unlikely but possible. i hope i will be playing against some of u one day
good luck... u gonna need it
