there, fixed that for you.
As for the rest ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shortest_players_in_Na...
The shortest NBA player was 5'3" and played until 2001.
Isaiah Thomas is the shortest player to play in an all-star game at 5'9".

But hey, good luck, I'm sure you're smarter than the rest of us and you'll do just fine without allegories.

You've caught me, I'm an allegory hater. Thanks about that NBA player list. Truly inspiring somebody who's 5"3' could play in the NBA.
Find me a below average height person who made it at the NBA or somebody, anybody, with a below average IQ who got a science Nobel prize and you'll have my attention. But if you have to rely on a pure fantasy novel to find a counter-example, it doesn't give me any confidence in your theory.
