I think if you define "natural ability" to be athleticism/vertical leap, Zach Randolph deserves some votes. He is an Allstar and probably can't out-jump me. http://www.nba.com/news/2013-14-nba-gm-survey/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt3a
Not really messed up if its true. Don't lie and tell me Kevin Love and Matt Bonner are athletic freaks.
On hyper-sensitive Clutchfans, this may be one of the few threads where you can say this and not be quoted 30 times with enraged reactions.
LOL Kevin Love is 6'10" putting him well into the 99% height percentile. If that's not natural ability I don't know what is. He also seems reasonably quick for his size, this makes no sense. Marc Gasol is well in the 7 foot range... IMO someone like Nate Robinson should win this, he clearly was not built to be an NBA player yet made it happen and has put up good numbers. If your as tall as Gasol and Love its almost embarrassing NOT to be playing basketball at a high level.
