It's important to keep in mind (1) there are only a few hundred active NBA players on planet Earth and (2) most of them have been training hard at basketball since childhood. (Only the rare "big man" can get away with being a late starter.)
So when we talk about "preferences" here, it's not about adult preferences, it's about childhood preferences.
Most careers don't, and shouldn't, require you to choose them in childhood.
