It is exciting when 5'8" guys do it in high school. Maybe even when 6'2" guys do it in college. No way when 7'6" guys do it in the NBA.
Thank you, Sir. You have posted the very reason I haven’t watched ANY NBA game in 20 years, and pay no attention to my once beloved CELTICS.
when basketball was started, with the basket at 10’, it was a real challenge for that 5’10” player to sink a score. I remember the “driving lay-up” from a 5’9” player. WOW!!
Bob Cousy would to darn SMALL to even make the team today.
Now players 12” taller merely go on tippy-toe to drop the ball in. Others get so high off the floor, they are shooting downward into the basket.
I’d love to see the game with the basket,say, 9 inches higher. Leave it at 10’ for high school.
