Is basketball all about height

Answer 1

Height does matter. The point guards are the shortest, with an average height of about 6'0" or 6'1." The shooting guards are the next tallest, with an average height of about 6'4" or 6'5." Next, the small forwards, with an average height of 6'7" or 6'8." Then, the power forwards, with an average height of 6'10" or 6'11." Finally, centers have an average height of 6'11" or 7'0." So, height does matter. You don't want to be 6'0," and have a 7'0" center covering you, because they will keep blocking you. Height does matter, and you normally play a certain position based on height.

Answer 2

No. While height helps, running speed, throwing accuracy, and being a team player also helps. Consider that one of the best ball handlers in the NBA was Tyrone Curtis "Muggsy" Bogues. At 5'6" Muggsy was able to dunk, and run circles around players much taller.

No not really. It is a stereotype that tall players cant shoot 3 pointers but i am 7'2 and i shoot better 3's than most short players on my team.

Answer 4
