I walked into my hotel gym in Macau and a metre away from me was a 19-year-old girl who’s taller than Shaq.

I’ve just got back from NBA China, with Yao Ming at breakfast every morning, and it got me thinking: does hard work actually beat talent? I was never the most talented player on any team I played for and still got a pro contract. But I’ve also stood next to Yao Ming.

We get into the science (it’s not what you think), Wemby, the most talented kid I ever played with, and whether you’re even up against your talent yet.Which gift are you drafting?

Let me know in the comments.
