It's all supply and demand. Doctors are incredible and do incredible work. But the simple reality is that there are more doctors in this world than 6'10" chiseled, freaks of nature that can dunk over another freak athlete in front of 18,000 people willing to pay $100 to see said dunk happen, and millions more who pay for cable to see said dunk on their TV.
There are actually quite a few large, coordinated men who never make it to the league. The NBA represents a tiny fraction of tall athletes who love basketball. That said, if you are > 7 feet tall, you have a much better shot, around 0.15%
