No Height, Got Game

Friday, August 8th, 2008

In the NBA, short basketball players are rare. When it comes to recruiting, The taller player gets dibs. [Sidenote: I personally experienced this type of bias back in Junior High while trying out for the team. The coach opted for a 6-foot, no-game glob of clumsiness.]

WikiAnswers says the average height of NBA players is 6′7″. Steve Nash is not exactly tall per NBA standards, but he’s still 6′3″. What if a baller with game, of course, is listed under 6 feet?

5′3″ - Muggsy Bogues
5′5″ - Earl Boykins
5′7″ - Spud Webb
5′9″ - Nate Robinson
