Before even getting to college basketball you need to be at least 6’4 which is roughly 1% of the US population, then when you are in your colleague team, odds increase to 1.2% a lot more than the 0.03% of the high school chances of going to the nba, than your height should grow up to 6’7 to fit the average nba player height, and that’s not the only thing if you wanna become an elite you will have to have a long wingspan which would be 1.05 times your height and just imagine that for a 6’7 compared to a 5’9 wingspan, it fucking angers me when I see people in TikTok: “Just do Basketball and your gonna grow taller!” No, you’re not sport is made for tall people and not normal people, basketball won’t make your ass grow to 6’2 it’ll do the same that running or even walking slowly would do, the reason there’s tall basketball players only is because it is the sport where genetics matters the most and short people are naturally deemed to play worse, just compare the fucking heights against soccer, baseball players but even then they still need to be modestly tall, baseball pitchers are at least 5’11 and that’s 2 inches above the average (5’9)
