Best Answer

Height affects how you can approach the game. For instance, those who are taller will typically be dunking and scoring close to the basket much more than shooting the ball from anywhere outside of the key.

Short players, however, will generally be more likely to shoot jump shots. Their small stature poses problems when trying to drive into the lane against taller players who are generally shot blockers.

Yes. As you go up and up, there is less atmospheric pressure. You get less and less oxygen. So as you go up, your speed becomes less and less.
