We are all know that basketball is a sport that demands tall player. We are also know that more higher the player, more easy for him/her to reach the rim, block other player, or even more easy to do the dunk. So, what will short player (like me) become? Are we just become a bench player forever? or worse?
Many people feel down because they feel that their height is not tall enough to become a good basketball player. I think that kind of thinking is wrong and will just make us as a bench player forever. Good basketball player is not determined by their height. Many players out there have already proved that they could grab their dreams in basketball with not depend on their height.
History has told us that even your height is not tall, you still can do something in basketball. NBA have already witnessed the amazing of Spud Webb that proved that height is not the most important thing in basketball. Spud Webb was just 5ft 6inc tall, but he became the winner of the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, conquered Dominique Wilkins who was far more higher than him.
Although sometime height gives advantages to the game, I think basketball is more about hard work, technique, team work, and determination.
