The average player is 6"5 or 6"6 The height for the rim has not changed I heard im decades or a century is this true? 1 arm reached up surely adds 2 feet minimum as the average human arm is 2 feet. This means the close to or 7 foot or taller players can just about touch the rim without jumping
imagine a knee buckling on that landing.... It's already brutal when they are in the air for a dunk and get hit and land awkwardly on their knees or ankles with bones splitting out.
No way, the hight is fine. There are less 7 footers than there used to be and the slam dunk is one of the most exciting plays in the game.
