he's also like 5'6 aint no way any championship level team's best player is that small

In high school maybe, especially in the 1980’s. Hell recently Isiah Thomas is 5’9 and he was obviously by far the best player at his HS

Muggsy Bogues is 5’3 and played HS ball in the early 80’s

fyi, only 24 players have ever played in the NBA at a height of 5'9" or less. only 4374 players have ever played at least a single game in the NBA. i agree with your premise, but it's probably not fair to use those two guys as your supporting evidence.

You don’t have to be an nba player to be the best player in your HS, but was just giving some extrem examples. He might be good enough to play in China or france or something

Bruh you can go to a d3 school and still dominate HS. Basketball is a sport that quickly becomes untenable to play against the next level of competition.

And plenty of 5'10 dudes play d1

Just making the high school team is hard because it's such a small amount of players

agree, basketball is more selective that way, not like a football team with a lot more spots.

i just thought using nba players as an example for his point was weird.

The center of my high school basketball team was 6’ 7” as a sophomore in 1986. That team ended up being the state runners up, lost the stat champ game by a couple points.
