Dunking was officially banned in college basketball in 1967. The dunking ban was lifted in 1976 and dunking has been allowed ever since.

>>Answer\nHi! \n\nAs far as I know, there are no differences in size. Both leagues use standard Spalding size 7 ball with 29.5" circumference, inflated at between 7.5 and 8.5 pounds pressure. The only difference may be in colour, since the NBA uses the ball that is full-orange, while the WNBA ball is orange-white. However, neither is stated in their respective official rules. \n\nI hope that answers your question. \n\n--- \n\nAfter receiving a follow-up question, I dug a little deeper and found this out: \n\nThe official WNBA rules state that (quote): \n\nThe ball should be an officially approved WNBA ball with a weight not less than 18 ounces nor more than 20 ounces. The circumference of the ball shall be within a maximum of 29 inches and a minimum of 28.5 inches. \n\n(unquote) \n\nThe NBA only states (quote) \n\nThe ball shall be an officially approved NBA ball between 7 1 /2 and 8 1 /2 pounds pressure. \n\n(unquote), \n\nwhile Spaulding advertises therir basketballs as "Official NBA full-size" at 29.5 inches. \n\nSo I guess I was wrong. My bad. \nSorry.<<

How would playing basketball make someone tall?  You probobly think that because most tall people play because it's a big advantage to have height.

Manute Bol, who is from Sudan, played in the NBA at about 7-7.  He is considered the tallest man ever in the league, just above Gheorge Muresan.  While he was more of a show than anything, he blocked many shots, and could hit from outside.  He wasn't heavy, though, and thus got manhandled a lot in the paint.  He has since traveled around the world, and now lives in Connecticut :)

Well simply put they have amazing verticals usually depending on the height over 50 inches. The reason is that if they build up their leg muscles (using squats and plyometrics) the same as people who are taller they get more lift due to the fact they are carrying less weight. Nate Robinson won the Slam Dunk contest this year and he is around 5'9" 175lbs and Muggsy Bouges who dunked a few times in his NBA career was 5'3" 140lbs. If you train hard enough anyone can dunk.

Sounds like, since you don't have the height, you need to make sure you get in a clear space so no-one bigger is in front of you. It's good that you are quick. So visualise and practice seeing yourself in a clear space and then practice until you get so good with putting your shots up that you don't need to be near the basket and your team knows that if they give you the ball in a clear space it will be just up over and in - another 3 pts from the 3 point Ace shooter king!

An NBA and official NCAA (college) court is 94 ft long and 50 ft wide.\nA High School court is 84 ft long and 50 ft wide.\nA Junior High court is 74 ft long and 42 ft wide.\nHalf court is well.. half the distance of the full court.. (I know, I didn't need to add that)\n\nThe free throw line is always 15 ft from the line to the backboard\n\nThe distance from the ground to the rim is 10 ft.\n\nThe 3 point arc in the NBA is 22ft to the center of the rim on the sides ( the arc starts 5 ft 3 in from the baseline, being a straight line until that point) then the curved part of the arc is 23ft. 9 in. from the center of the rim.\n\nThe 3 point arc in college and high school is 19 ft 9 in. (The straight part extends 63 in out from the baseline before the arc begins).\n\nThe key is 12 feet wide (the width of the free throw line) the backboard should extend 4 feet out over the baseline. The 12 ft wide free throw line forms the center of a circle with a 6 ft radius.\n\nThe backboard is 72 inches wide by 42 inches high and has an 18 inch diameter rim.\nThe inner square is marked above the rim in a rectangle of 24 inches wide and 18 inches high. \n\nThe line markings are 2 inches wide.

why is this in basketball?

discrimination is wrong. NBA teams shouldn't discriminate against short people either... we need to be politically correct .

I've never heard of a baseball player having a 42 inch vertical jump. Many college and pro basketball players have that type of vertical. I think you have to be more athletic to play basketball than baseball. I've seen many very overweight baseball players, but you dont see overweight basketball players. Shaquille O'neal is heavy, but he is listed as only having 11% body fat. Basketball players overall can jump much better, but there are some baseball players that jump well.

In the NBA the 3-point line is furthest away at the top of the key where it is 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the basket. The shortest distance is near the baseline on either side where it is exactly 22 feet away from the center of the basket :)
