A frequently asked question about basketball players, why are they so tall? This is a picture of Yao Ming. Well, to answer the question. Basketball players arent tall because they play basketball, it's because they are tall. It is a great advantage for those who are born with the right genes.

It needs the right genes for a person to play basketball. Not help basketball to become larger. they are big helps you to play basketball. So now we have it with this misconception by science.
