Umm. Did you ever play sports growing up? And if you did, did you ever play with guys that had all the talent in the world, but they were frustrating as #### because they had such a low effort level?

Sometimes those guys get to the show on skill alone. This is definitely not a cliche. You hear people talk about it all the time, including ex players, coaches etc. I don’t even think this can be argued.
