I'm 15 and 6'5/6 and play forward and guard and in the post but mainly SF which is strange because I am the tallest in my team but I think it is because i am so explosive and can drain shots all day.

lay-ups should be illegal weak shots should'nt count the rim is your enemy dunk with all your might-delivery boy also said by High octane

so the best hieght for basketball is about 6ft? anyone thats 5ft should just play another sport?

any position optimally has to be over 6"3 or 6" 4.

Hell no just because your short dosent mean you should play another sport. im about 5'10 and play basketball just fine. I play PG, SG, and sometimes SF. Its not about height its about what you can do and ho well you do it. Look at Earl Boykins 5'5 shortest in the NBA plays PG and recently scored 36 points. and other great short players include Spud Webb, Mugsy Bowes, TJ ford is also under 6'0. only thing that is bad for short players is unless they have hops most layups they take will get denied so they should develop a good shot from the outside. most shorter players are very quick allowing them to get past their defender. Its all about doing what you do the best. and beliving in your self. My shots have been blocked many times. All you have to do is work at it and adapt i combated my shot being blocked by using a hop step, or just jumping higher. so it dosent really matter how tall you are.

king balla's right.....i'm 5'7 and got no prob with basketball....i got speed and that what helps me the most, but the best way to make ure shot is harder to block is by tryin different types of layups (which I learned many by getting blocked )
