The path to billionare is unique and can't be copied and involves luck and usually some business skills and almost always communication skills or skills to get others to do work for you.

Being an nba player involves luck and hard work and a high spacial iq.

Anyone could become a billiarie with luck (powerball lottery in one extreme). Only 100,000 people in the world would even have a chance to compete to be an nba player.



You do realize there are 6 foot NBA players right. Hardly 100000 in the world. So if you're gonna go to the power ball extreme on one end then you must extend the analogy just as far on the other side of the argument.

Most billionaires were born in top 0.01 percentile of their respective population pool. And had to be lucky and smart amongst other traits.


Do you think that the population of potential NBA players is determined solely by height?
