Basketball players are, on average, the tallest sports players in the world. The reason is obvious – the rims on a basketball court are 10 feet in the air and height plays a major roll in one’s ability to get the ball in the hoop as well as trying to stop the opponents from doing the same. That’s not to say that short people can’t play basketball, but taller people have advantages.
