Not to sound like I'm an old fuck or anything...

But now that I'm 20 (yeah yeah, I know, still young) it's really fucking amazing to think about people like LeBron James or Nadal. The guy who won the last Australian Open, Djokavic, is barely older than me, and the guy he played in the finals is like 22 or some shit. That's nuts. There are plenty of people who are/were younger than me in professional sports or music, but it's just now hitting me how truly incredible that is. I'm pretty fucking jealous.
This kid, Eldar, is 20 I think now. He's fucking awesome. &feature=related

At 20 years and 5 months, I'm the same age as Mike Tyson when he won the title.

...also, i'd take a bet that many more kids are brought up doing those specific sports,music stuff from a young age than the previous generations top performers, and thus, they are as good as the previous,at a younger age.

I don't know man, that may be true in sports, but it seems like getting your kid to play an instrument and stick with it and practice was more common than it is now.

For sure jewunit. Think of all the classical composers who started at like 4 and played nonstop. Many times they were forced to play by their fathers.

At 18 years old it makes me depressed that I'll probably never be as awesome as them, even if I started playing trumpet or basketball again, or whatever else.

yeah man. it's some crazy shit. a huge amount of olympian performers, especially gymnasts and figure skaters, are under 20. they're considered to be over the hill at like 23. 23!! christ.. that's not that far away.
it's somewhat depressing
but speaking of good young basketball players, a kid i went to high school with recently got into the NBA. hell.. he has his own wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JamesOn_Curry
i taught that nigga how to juggle in 8th grade!

JamesOn was good in college, didn't know he was on a team. A kid I went to high school with, Andre Blatche, plays for the Washington Wizards, and another 7 footer from my high school is going to Michigan next year and is definitely NBA bound.

Nas wrote and recorded Illmatic when he was 20. Nuff fucking said.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

I'd much rather be a well-respected scientist, or much less likely, a politician, than some sort of celebrity. Unfortunately, these are positions that have to be earned over a long period of time, no matter how innate your talent is.
