Body building and basketball?

I just saw the movie white men can't jump, and I noticed that all of the players in the movie looked like body builders. They were all big. Then i saw soem other basketball movies and a lot of guys in the 90's movies were all big and built playing ball.

Now a days basketball is a quicker sport, but will being bigger help you in basketball?

Thanks a lot.

    Well i don't know about everything here but as for shooting a couple feet behind 3 pt line withOUT jumping, probably not smart. Your gonna want to jump on any shot... whether it be a few feet behind 3 pt line or 3 ft in front of free throw line =) But anyways. For improving your Vertical, there's an exercise program thing called 'Air Alert' it costs about 30$, but it will definitely increase your vertical by a noticeable amount (From about 8" - 14"). It a bit of work, so you would have to be dedicated.
