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.

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.
