1) Given that the "hot hand theory" states that after success comes right away a series of successful instances further and further.

We can state that this is a fallacy, an erroneous logical argument since the future success is not a dependent event from the current or previous successful instances.

And also, success not a predictable event given that this notion of success is so broad and vague and peculiar and envolves so many other variables and aspects that we can not state.
