Why are basketball players tall?
Is it that people who are naturally tall join basketball because it is advantageous to be tall in that sport, and so they know they could be successful?
Or, do you think that people who join basketball, regardless of their initial height, grow tall because of all the jumping and their minds recognize that it would be advantageous to be taller and so their bodies grow?
Please, I need to know.

its a conspiracy
because the basket is high
I am not sure good question…though
its cuz they jump alot
Why are big people Sumo wrestlers?
no they are tall so they become basketball players other wise they would be short and at the end of the game guess wot the score would be:
0:0
I would suggest they are tall and join because its a massive advantage!! Your height is determined mostly by genetics, not by how much you jump!
the tall people are closer to the basket therefore it makes it easier for them
The Media is playing with your mind.
short people play too but mostly tall people because they naturally have an advantage. That is why I started playing basketball but then i ended up loving it.
They need to be tall so they can reach the basket.
So they can block and steal! Duh!!!

They’re not!
Because when kids are little, and thier parents see they are tall for thier age, they encourage them to join basketball, because they might be good at it and have fun with it.
Being tall doesn’t guarantee being good at bkb. CP3 is quicker and more athletic than Yao Ming for example.
Its the first one. Also tall people are recruited by those already in basketball
so they can make easy money and not have to work to make the baskets…and still miss like shaq
So they can easily reach the basket..
Being tall is a gift,if your mother or father is tall then its possible that you can be tall too..
