"Most successful underachievers"


  

          

There is sure to be some overlap with the "fucks given" post, but this does not exclude people who cared.

For example, David Robinson worked his ass off, is one of the best players of his generation and a champion, and he STILL didn't reach his full potential as a player. He was more more gifted than Olajuwan, yet we don't hold the two in the same regard because The Admiral didn't maximize his potential.
