Even Malcolm Gladwell will tell you that his book doesn't mean anybody can do anything if they practice for 10,000 hours. His book, at its root, is all about what the greatest did to separate themselves from others who would have had similar natural talents but didn't do that work.
There does seem to be something magic about the 10,000 hours, but I'm never, no matter how much time and effort I spend, going to be able to compete on the NBA floor. I'm neither tall enough nor have the build, structure, and genetics to be quick enough. 10,000 hours of training won't make me quick enough.
