>> In basketball, it is quite easy to prove that some people are simply unable to ever be a great basketball player
There's a simple cure for this: Height classes
You can still be a GREAT basketball player if you were only 5 foot 6 inches tall. Is the best 5'-6" basketball player in the world, not great? They just can't compete against the physically taller players. What if you made a league exclusively for players in between 5 and 6 feet tall?
Floyd Mayweather is a great boxer. But if there weren't weight classes in boxing, and you put him in the ring with some journeyman heavyweight, he'd lose. He's just too small to win.
