Answer:

Always when we have a statement like:

"all of {some group} have {a given property}"

A counterexample of this is:

"There exists at least one element of the given group that does not meet the property"

Then we have the statement"

All basketball players are most than 6 ft tall

The counterexample would be:

There exist one basketball player that measures 6ft

or

There exist one basketball player that measures less than 6ft
