That is what I'm saying, you seem to have stated it better.  There are certain sports that to be elite, you need to have a high level of physical attributes, that elite performers in other sports will never have.   And there are a few that even the basics are really hard.

Those are factors that limit your ability to get at the top.
But is that the same as making that sport harder?   I'd say for basketball, nope.   But for gymnastics yes.   And golf which is more skills based is very hard to get the basics down for some.

I would consider gymnastics one of the hardest sport, as I can't even do any of the things they do at even a minimal level... I can't come close to an "average" gymnast, I can't do the basics.

Basketball not that hard in terms of the basic stuff -- I can dribble, shoot, do everything that is required.   Can't do it anywhere near an elite player, but I can do the basics.

Anyway this has turned into more rambling/
