NBA Players That Would Have Been Elite At Any Height

[Dwight Howard]

Lets gone and get MJ out the way cause those are obvious choices. MJ athleticism would allow him to dominate at a similar level if he was a 6'2 PG. Probably wouldnt finish as well around the basket later in his career.

Another obvious choice is Magic cause his basketball IQ was off the charts.

But hypothetically if a players got their height reduced by like 3 inches , which ones would still be elite and which ones would fall off hard?

 

[Professor K.]

Every HOF player 7' and up

 

[Da_Eggman]

Norris Cole

 

[Sccit]

KYRIE IRVING..WOULD ACTUALLY BE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE IF HE WAS A COUPLE INCHES TALLER

KD is the easy answer

Kobe

[Jesus Is Lord]

Would've loved to see a 6'6 Zeke Thomas

Barkley
MJ
Kobe
Russ
Uncle Sabo
KD

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Lebron

His court vision and ability to attack the basket would make him an elite PG.

If he were 6’1” he’d be Eric Bledsoe with better vision/passing.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

AI obviously

Kobe

Magic

Hakeem

Larry Bird

KG

Basically anybody big who relies on skill and finesse and not just size.

 

[Dwight Howard]

I dont think dirk would be elite anything under 6'8
