I get the message he's trying to convey, but I think it's just a bad analogy. Reaching the NBA scoring record would presumably require lots of discipline, good habits, hours of hard effort, practice, etc....winning the lottery seems like mostly luck to me. I get it that you need luck in order to be able to produce that effort, but I don't really see how those two events can be equivalent at all.
