Leaping would be difficult, i would say small dude generell could jump a big higher, but bigger guys don't need to jump that high - for total hight out of the movement i think the 2m guys are in advantage.
Eureka!

The new skill I'm proposing is just that. BB can call it something else. We can even call it "athletik" :)

but it is still to powerful i think, and bringt nothing new ;) Even that it makes the BB Bigs smaller then now, and with your realism argument the good ones are also to small compared to reality, because they are usually more 2.03- 2.06 then 2.10+. because of the sme reason, why the 2.20 guys in the NBA are rare, because the modern Big plays much more outside, and not so much because they can jump higher when they run.

Sorry, I didn't understand that. Are you saying that there are more 2.03-2.06 guys than the rest in NBA?

Just to stop the absurd argument and help people to come out of denial.

BBs player heights divide evenly in three groups:
a) 5'9-6'3
b) 6'4-6'10
c) 6'11-7'5

Question 1: Which group contains most superstars and the best players in real life?

Question 2: Which group contains most superstars and the best players in BB?


I'll have to answer your 2 questions with another question

My Question: Do we really need to answer these questions when they are fairly obvious?

My Answer: If people can't see that its obvious SFs are scarce and 5'9 or 7'5 have advantage over 6'7, then we have to be questioning what is obvious, which you provided those 2 questions and albeit obviousness it needs to be answered.

Answer 1: They're about equally divided but argument can be made as well that some position are bit stronger than others.
Answer 2: Centers most of all with PG/SG not far behind. Good question to ask in this is which position has least superstars in BB and the obvious answer is SF.

i mean the pf and center are often in this size, at least the good ones.

I think the important thing to consider from this forum is not to be too hung up by the name "Athleticism" for all it matters it can be named "Austin Powers Mojo". The real focus should be on the idea that a training method that better appeals to 6'7 guys should be implemented and if what he proposed would pretty much more or less balance so 6'7 could be trained like 5'9 or 7'5 at the SF then its realistic. It's better to do what would most of all balance training for 6'7 with the 5'9 or 7'5. So for sake of balancing, if certain tweaking to his suggested ideas would be better to make it more balance or realistic as a SF then that's what it should be. I think he would also support that whatever is done, that it would be as realistic as possible to allow 6'7 to train well at SF.
