You don’t have to be a certain height to play in the NBA. However, teams certainly value height when looking at a prospect. The shortest player to ever play in the league happened to be Muggsy Bogues, who stood at five-foot, three-inches. According to a few studies that have been done over the years, height does play a dramatic role in your chances of making it to the big leagues. If you stand at seven feet or taller, you have roughly a 17 percent chance of making it into the NBA throughout your life. If you are listed somewhere between six-foot, six-inches to six-foot, eight inches, you have a really small 0.07 percent chance of making it. Even players that are barely listed under six feet in height have a hard time making it into the NBA and sticking there. Isaiah Thomas did a great job at staying around for a few years because he was an excellent scorer, but unfortunately now that he got older teams don’t want him due to him being a liability defensively. Much of that is due to his height. Bottom line, being at least six feet seems about right.
