Why couldn't I just be guaranteed to be in the NBA.\"<\/p>\n<p>With the odds of only 3 out of 10,000 high school basketball players making it to the league where 76.3% of players in the league are\u00a0African-American and 81% being of color, the odds were against Blake. He did have a father, a black one, who played college ball, but he also had an older brother with basketball skills so the odds of the youngest being better than his big brother and father made the odds even tougher...and I also have to mention that Blake was home schooled\u00a0-- which means absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n<p>But to make a long story short, Blake was able to capitalize off of the black in him and overcome \"white privilege\" to become the first pick in the 2009 NBA draft and then meet Peter Mehlman who drilled Blake with very serious questions such as \"if Andrew Bynum calls and asked you to the Playboy mansion?\"<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j8_OjY4SKXE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>I'm sure Blake\u00a0also asked why was he cursed with that horrible haircut throughout high school and college.
