I agree with sole, while genetics are not the soley(lol) responsible for success in basketball or whatever you choose to persue, they are a contributing factor. I'm pretty sure that's all she is trying to say there. Yes hard work, practice, environmental and home factors all come into play. No one is arguing(I don't think) that genes are what determines your success in something. It just comes plays a factor in how easily you will be able to suceed in whatever more easily then someone who has worse genes.
