Basketball

Not everyone can be good at everything, especially basketball. Basketball takes skills, theses skills don't depend on your race, religion, or where you grew up. I believe if you work hard enough and set your mind to it you can be good at anything. In the NBA you will find some of the best basketball players in the US and even the world. In the early 1900s the NBA was dominated by the Jews, but now it is mainly dominated by African Americans. The difference between now and then is only a couple differences, speed and height. The Jews were thought to be good because of there speed, and the African Americans are thought to be good due to there height. In the early 1900s it was thought to be an advantage to be short and fast, but now its an advantage to be tall. My personal opinion is if you are good at something it doesn't matter if you are tall or short, but looking if you look at it, it does matter. If you look at the players in the NBA most of the players are tall, but there are a few players that are on the shorter side. If you are one of the "short people" you just have to work that much harder to out play the ones who are taller. By having the short people amongst the tall it goes to prove that if you work hard enough you can achieve your goals.
