Also having grown up watching legit NBA players at the playground, it's just laughable watching these little dweebs think they are good.
Wrestling is a little below swimming. I have a cousin and friend of my son that were legit D1 wrestlers and it was great to watch them, but again 3 minutes in a weekend long tourney but as a friend, you could bop in and out.

Hmmm, by 12 years old, if em can hoop, a kid is likely playing AAU. So you're actually seeing the best players.
If you want to pick the sport where you are watching a shell of the world's best- back to baseball. I remember a dad talking about how his HS son is looking to be such a power pitcher that he is almost certainly headed for the Majors, based upon how he mows through HS American players. I didn't have the heart to point out that 66% of MLB is Central/South American players, and the son hasn't even seen that talent pool.
