This is more irritating than inspiring to me. Take the life of any prodigy and you can cherry-pick context-free moments where they appear shitty. Jordan, for instance, was passed over his first high school tryout because he was too short [1]. He heroically grew taller over the summer and owned continuously for the rest of his life, except at baseball.
