When it comes to professional athletes at the peak of their powers, others understandably want to learn from them in their own quest on the path to success, but this doesn't always go to plan. For example, Joe Montana had little time for Steve Young when they were both with the San Francisco 49ers, with the four-time Super Bowl champion having no interest in helping the quarterback who was his heir apparent.
Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan often didn't want to make time for individuals to regularly pick his brain unless he thought they truly had what it took to strive for true greatness, which is why he made an exception with the late, great Kobe Bryant.
