Should Basket ball be played among equals?

By Equals i meant, on physical apperances,like height,weight, People who are very tall do have advantage while playing the game then a Normal height man.If you see Boxing, they have categories based on your Body weight, so that a flyweight boxer doesnt box a Heavy weight boxer

    I think not because it depends on talents/skills. You can be tall and strong but ineffective, you can be skinny and small but sharp. As the saying goes "The ball is round and that no one really knows where it would fall". Boxing is totally different, it's an individual match-up that's why it goes by weight categories.

    No, it is not so.

    There are many disadvantages of height

    takes time to bend low

    comparison wise slower than shorter ones

    dribble gets easy

    whereas a heavy weight person

    can block easily

    can intercept passes

    can easily throe long passes, 3-pointers

    so its not a game for tall or light weight people all together

    no because for height theres different position for ur height. normally those tall ones play forward or centre while the shorter ones plays guards as they are faster. however this doesnt mean tall people cant play guard and vice versa. for weight, mostly centres weigh heavier then guards as they use physical stength against their opponents, thus needing to train more.
