It depends on what position you play, and in what league/ country. In the NBA, the average height is 6 foot 7 inches.
If your wondering what is the ideal height for each position in the NBA, the answer would be:
Point guard- 6'0- 6'5
Shooting guard- 6'5- 6'8
Small forward- 6'7- 6'10
Power forward- 6'9- 6'11
Center- 6'11 and taller.
Personally, I would say the most DYNAMIC height for an NBA player would be 6'10''. My reasoning behind this would be that a 6'10'' player can play 3 positions efficiently. A 6'10'' SF is a force to be reckoned with, and would easily outmatch a smaller 6'7''/6'8'' SF (ex. Rashard Lewis). The most common position that a 6'10'' would be PF. The average PF height is 6'10'' and would stand a good chance in the post matched up with any other PF, except 7'/7'1'' PF. (Ex. for 6'10'' PF would be Blake Griffin). Lastly, a 6'10'' Center is small, But can still be effective in games. The some athleticism, a 6'10'' C could match up with even some +7' Big men. (Ex. for 6'10'' C would be Al Horford and Anthony Davis)
There is no height limit to be in the NBA as long as you can play and match with the other players.

No, the height of an NBA player in relationship to his shoe size does not represent a negative correlation. The two actually represent a positive correlation. As the NBA player increases in size, so will his shoe size.
