I don't know, I think there are a lot of professional athletes that have something in their background that makes them the under dog, but through shear perseverance they have made it to the top. Tom Dolan swam in the Olympics despite having pretty bad asthma. Muggsy Bouges played in the NBA and was only 5'3". Bethany Hamilton still surfed competitively after losing an arm to a shark.
- mistrial9 3y agothere is a difference between being "fabulous" and actually being competitive.
- duderific 3y agoI think you are kind of making the point rather than refuting it. Muggsy Bogues at 5'3" could dunk a basketball. As a person who is not much taller than that, I can tell you that no amount of dedication and hard work would allow me to dunk a basketball. If Muggsy Bogues was born with an average athletic ability, rather than what he was born with, he probably wouldn't have been able to make his high school team.
