since basketball players are taller now, why don't they raise the hoop
post #1

back in the day, most basketball players were average height. now most are pushing 7' yet they haven't changed the rules of the game. doesn't this give basketball players an unfair advantage? if they raised the hoop to like 10' wouldn't it be more challenging? don't tell me that the 6 footers are really good. i know this but they curve smaller basketball players for this very reason it's not like football

I get what you're saying but it's not like all of the players in the NBA are over six feet. There are plenty under. What ur saying would make sense if all of the players in the NBA were over six feet
