Some of his inventions actually did work, you know. And even if he no longer invented stuff, he could still be a scientist. Or maybe a writer, because he was good at that too. But as for your question about basketball, Steve never considered it as a career path for him. Eddy did though in one episode, and something interesting was said there by a guy, who Harriette brought to the house just to make Eddy and Carl change their minds. Even if you become a pro athlete, and you don't become injured, such a career won't last your whole life. Many former athletes keep on working within sports some way or another. But it can be good to have another option to fall back on.
