I didn’t say all because I know there are plenty who are on the shorter side but have amazing skill, or perhaps some on the hefty side. I don’t watch too much basketball so I’m basing my question on the few live games I’ve actually seen and just students at the high school gym and such.
Anyways for the most part I notice they’re all incredibly tall and usually on the lankier side of the spectrum. What gives? I always thought it was just that they literally have exercises they do that overtime aid in their height structure and everything, or that basketball requirements really are that strict and you have to meet criteria. But yeah…please.

If you are taller than someone then it is much easier to block them. So being tall is a benefit for a defensive player. Of course the best way not to be blocked is to be at least as tall as the defender, so being tall is an advantage for an offensive player.
Then it is just an arms race.
