Being taller gives an advantage in basket ball, and being tall is not common, because statistics. ( If being tall was common, then tall would be normal and normal height would be short. Relativity is quite important. )

This is from the perspective of someone who's relatively tall for his race. IMHO, being tall definitely grants you observable advantages from a wide array of things: athletics, confidence, successfulness, stature, etc.

Being taller is better then being shorter. It does not make much sense, people tend to get from short to tall and not the opposite..
Anyways, being tall helps on basketball but also slows down your reflexes and makes clothing and a lot of other stuff difficult.

In the english language the proper way to write it is than and not then.

I haven't measured my length in a while. But last time I measured myself I was ~180cm tall.

I personally don't believe being taller is better. It's a matter of your own preference. Small people can fit anywhere while tall people really can't, so there's many benefits of being both small and tall in general. But tall people probably has the most benefits due to the fact that we can reach things that are higher up while a small person wouldn't. Either way I am sure both tall and small has great benefits.

Well, I think I am short in my ages. ~ 150 cm or 4.9 feet nearly 13 years old. I watched a TV show somewhere that shows a small person play basketball game with tall peoples. I think the guy that I saw is ~ 125 cm or 4.1 feet as far as I remember. Everyone have their own benefits, tall peoples have their own and even short peoples have their own.

Don't correct other people's English (on a forum where a high percentage of people don't speak good English) if you're going to make 2 simple mistakes in the same post.

Being taller is 100% better than being smaller. Although I would never say no to a small cute blonde or brunette. So thank you God for creating small cute girls, we all love you for it.

@user Corvallis5: Thanks man. My post got deleted for some reason, maybe user racorket did not like it.

totally agreed with you yates, girls need to be small to be attractive, srsly no man wants a wife that's bigger than himself it would just mentally smaller their balls

There's also a trend showing that guys prefer girls that aren't too much shorter than they are whereas girls prefer guys much taller. According to a 2013 study on the subject http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2012.12.019, they concluded that while guys are most satisfied with girls around 3.5 - 4 inches shorter, girls are most satisfied with guys 7.5 - 8 inches taller.

so if you're a girl, you probably don't want to be too short
