      Hey man Im 5’5 and I can tell you that I can play with people up to 6’1 easily. Im only saying this to motivate you, not as a brag. I mainly use my jumper and some floaters in my moves set but it works. I can even get to the rack and finish over 6’ tall people. Its all about confidence and knowing what you can and can’t do. Now playing against 6’8 D1 hoopers is another thing but if you put in the time then you can play with taller dudes no problem my man.

      @@ToneyDouglas23 yeah, you have to rely on your brain more than in your "size" to play basketball. As a short man, you can manipulate your bigger defenders by using your speed and low angle advantage, that opens the court for your teammates to score easy buckets or for you to get a clean path to get your floaters. Dribbling hard and using the free arm it's mandatory... don't be scared to play physical and showing no fear is also a must. Naturally you will average less rebounds and taller players would like to attack you just by how you looking as a dwarf playing ball, but you have to keep your ground and show them you are not a joke in defense.

    I learned from playing guys at his size. On defense u cannot play around with them over dribbling Bc once u do a move they can recover so quick. Or they know what you are about to do before u do even do it. Gilbert arenas was saying this about earl boykins. He had to learn how to let the 2 guard bring the ball up Bc boykins was as fast as him if not faster. So once he learned that he waited to get the ball at half court and then it wasn’t much that boykins could do.

    I'm 6'0...and I feel I can l learn alor from this guy...I know the other side too..I actually hate having to play guys smaller than me...there is the guy at my gym...like 5'6...dude is strong too...pick up 94 feet lol...I've found its actually sometimes tougher..because he is
    Already right under my shooting pocket..and he is so low to the ground makes it hard to cross..I'm used to being the smaller guy driving by guys 6'5..hard to get by a guy that's lower than me...and on.defense...these guys are usually insanely athletic and shifty...best thing I found is not.to play at all.no.dribbling.bully ball..just score and wear them down...dude is an inspiration for.sure

    Love this video, again, proof you don't need to be 6 foot and above to play at a high level. People don't give Ty Lawson the credit he truly deserves as a national champion and a first round draft pick.

    one thing i've always thought about in basketball is how there is no provision for height. That guy whos like 5'7 at your local gym gets no handicap whatsoever. It seems to me that 5'10 to 6'0 is where height clusters, short hoopers probably self select out.
    The ones who stick around under 5'7 being like 4 inches shorter than almost everyone figured it out somehow. Besides maybe not full posting (and even then, people will post on smaller guys) theres no "gentlemans agreement" that spares these people. You either be better to compensate or you're a bad player, thats it. Its wild to see that taken all the way to the D1 level.

      Players like Darnell expose the lack of understanding that most people have about the game of basketball. It makes no sense that a player more than a foot shorter than the rest is as successful as he is. There are many things about basketball that even “D1” players don’t know. You’re right, the game is selected for physicality and players like Darnell, Isaiah Thomas, Nate Robinson, etc. expose you to how the real game is actually played. This is why basketball isn’t seen as an intellectual game yet like Golf, Baseball, or even Football sometimes. The hoop doesn’t change heights according to whoever has possession of the ball. Why couldn’t the GOAT Michael Jordan make the high school varsity team at 5’8” and guys like Darnell are D1. Guys like Isaiah at 5’8” are starting and leading scorers in NBA conference finals. No one wants to examine this dimension of basketball. Exposed.

      The game is yet to be perfected even at the highest levels. There should be a 6’8 steph curry eventually, a 6’8 iverson. I wonder if people 50 years from now will look back on this era, point to some of our most successful small guys, and use it as evidence that people from now are “bad”
