When a group of physical and psychological attributes or characteristics, combine to achieve favourable performance in a specific activity - talent can be a result.
EDIT: although passion (or interest) is key too.

What are our brains made of again?
I don't understand your point. Sure, our brains are made out of matter - and are physical organs. However, the interesting thing about a brain is the way it functions; I think it very necessary to think in terms of physical prowess and mental or psychological prowess when considering whether someone's naturally talented.
Being tall isn't a talent - it's an attribute that could give an advantage to a person who plays basket-ball. If the sum total of that person's other characteristics are also conducive to being good at basketball - that person would probably be known as a talented player.
