What does this mean? It means that even if you are a great athlete for someone 6ft9, theres going to be tons of 5ft11 guys way athletic than you, but their smaller statue will hold them back from being successful at certain sports like basketball, WR, TE, DE etc.
In reality, Kevin Durant and many other NBA players arent actually elite athletes, at least compared to the overall male population, they are just great athletes FOR THEIR SIZE. They just have the fortune of being much much taller than avg
