Scalabrine is very accessible and does regular interviews and has talked extensively about "The Scallenge" (where he challenged several high level non-professional players in one-on-one). One extremely insightful point he once made on Duncan Robinson's podcast is that part of the reason he's "closer to LeBron" is that he's played LeBron. He wouldn't be a good player if he hadn't played professionally against top-level talent. It might not be worth it to dedicate yourself like that, but that kind of dedication and commitment to competition is probably the only way you will achieve close to a high level and even then, you may end up only an also-ran.
