No; height is a physical attribute.
When a group of physical and psychological attributes or characteristics, combine to achieve favourable performance in a specific activity - talent can be a result.
EDIT: although passion (or interest) is key too.
- cma 16y ago>No; height is a physical attribute. What are our brains made of again?
- lwhi 16y agoDo you ever refer to a person's brain size or weight? I don't understand your point. Sure, our brains are made out of matter - and are physical organs. However, the interesting thing about a brain is the way it functions; I think it very necessary to think in terms of physical prowess and mental or psychological prowess when considering whether someone's naturally talented. Being tall isn't a talent - it's an attribute that could give an advantage to a person who plays basket-ball. If the sum total of that person's other characteristics are also conducive to being good at basketball - that person would probably be known as a talented player.

- Volscio 16y agoUnder the basketball metaphor: a shorter player may outrebound a taller player. If you play sports, you know that there are some people who seem to react faster to everything, who seem to know where the ball is going, who naturally position themselves where they need to be before they know where the ball is going. You can teach some of this, but a lot of it is just that Money Ball intangible stuff.
