A basketball is big because in the NBA, pros have big hands, and also because when you play basketball, your body gets a lot bigger. They were made after my ballz
umm pros
Nope -- just for Oklahoma State in college and Detroit in the pros.
There is a VERY SLIM chance of one making it to the NBA. Lets put it this way; there are 15 players on a basketball team in high school. There are around 10 schools in most school districts. Fifteen players X 10 schools = 150 players. There are only 60 players taken in every NBA draft. There are 150 players just in those schools, and that didn't even cover 1/1000th of the state. Only the best of the best make it into the NBA. There is a greater chance of collegiate scouts noticing high school players and the players making it into college, but into the NBA, very slim. ---- Okay let's explore. How many high schools are there in the world? Now the boys. Now the boys who play basketball for their team. That's about 10,000,000 at any given time. Now before going into the foreign markets, let's see how many Division 1 schools there are...312? 312 times 12 is about close to 4,900. Add the foreign markets -- given that many will be in the Division 1 colleges in the U.S., there's probably about say...500 then of high school hopefuls, old men in NDBL leagues and former NBA players attempting tryouts, for a grand total of about 5,400... 5,400 out of 10 FREAKING MILLION!!! Now in college, keep in mind that you have to get good stats and have people notice you in order to have a shot at making the pros. So out of 5,400, there's 312 times 5 starters, 1560. Now out of that 1560, many will be seen out east and are on teams that are in the top 25. That's ultra important. So 30 times 5, we've suddenly cut this pool of 1560 NBA wannabes down 90%!!!!! 156!!!! Jealously must be insane with this group of 156 players. Because from here, the NBA only picks 60 players a year...and only about 40 make a team!!! Therefore the final score here at Staples Center.... Making the NBA is a 40 in 10,000,000 shot.
none
no most basketball players in the pros are 6ft and taller 82% are 6ft and taller the other half are 5"4 and taller
In my opinion, basketball holds the most primadonna players. I play tennis and I play basketball. From what i experienced, basketball is full of young men that think they are pros. They are not. I do not enjoy watching basketball with players that shoot every time they touch the ball.
About 1 of every 550,000 varsity basketball players.
The ones who are good, end up becoming pro..

So pros can play basketball
Dwayne Wade plays basketball for the NBA basketball team Miami Heat. He went to college at Marquette University and got noticed as a great basketball player so he went on to play in the pros and is one of the best basketball players of today.
Pullman High School in Washington State John Elway Kevin Sweeney Will Furrer Timm Rosenbach As of 2013: Mater Dei High School (Santa Ana CA) has five QBs Matt Leinart (Heisman) John Huarte (Heisman) Matt Barkley Colt Brennan Todd Marinovich (Fr & So Year) If you are counting Elway's Freshman year, then this is comparable.
Yes you can.
The odds of being a football player are greatest although careers are shorter because of the roughness of the game. Team rosters are 50+ players, and the draft has 7 rounds. Baseball teams have 25 player rosters. Basketball only has about a dozen players per team, and two rounds in the draft although a lot of people play in Europe. There are about five times as many professional football players than basketball players in America.
