If you look @ the height of all the greatest player in NBA history, a lot of them were just the average height..... MJ stands @ 6'6 only compare to Jabbar who'se above 7 feet, Isiah Thomas is just above 6 feet... Charles Barkley also 6'6... but was one of the greatest rebounder of all-time...considering that there were so many guys in his era who'se much taller than him.... Spud Webb @ 5'6 even won the Slam Dunk champion & beat his Slam Dunk great teammate Dominique Wilkins @ 6'9.

There is a saying in basketball that you can't teach height. It is important to be tall especially for forwards and centers but it isn't the whole story. You can have the height and no skills and you won't ever make it as a player.
