Because Sports is a very poor reflection of reality. Most people do not work in occupations where "talent" is easily measured.
And if we really want to talk about talent, the average New Guinean tribesman can achieve feats of physical agility that would amaze the average person. Such is the outcome of a life of athleticism.
The reason most people never become Michael Jordans, is that most people don't have that single minded determination and discipline. People (quite rightly) find that dull, and spend their lives on a diverse number of interests.
For instance, I don't doubt that almost everyone could become the number 1 ranked SC2 player, but the amount of effort required is so large that by that point the game has long since gotten dull.
