In basketball, height obviously gives you a very significant advantage over your opponent (assuming that you are a decent player). I am myself only 5' 10' and I play more like a center or power forward than a guard. There is really no way I can succeed in playing the 4 or 5 spot in a competitve league with players who would be likely at least half a foot taller than me. My question is should leauges be separated by height so that people of normal stature can still play various positions and not compete with everyone else for the guard spots? I think it is an interesting proposal, and although I don't think it would ever be put into action, I am curious to see what people think about it. Please be respectful and thorough in your answer.

How much flair is too much? After every basket, every dish, every steal, every board, every everything, there's a celebration, a taunt, a look, a stern glance, a jersey that's popped. Why?
"Yeah, whoo hoo! Way to put together a correctly punctuated 32-word paragraph! Awesome!"
Is it just because these guys are so young? Sure, the average age of the guys on the team is 24, unlike the first much older, much better 1992 Dream Team filled with veteran dudes like Jordan and Barkley, but is that any real excuse to so constantly make a big deal out of things that really aren't?
Especially Dwyane Wade. He could have performed better in the worlds if he wasn't trying to be so fantastic. Too bad the refs there aren't like NBA refs who would give him 20 fouls a night just because of the name on the back of his jersey.
Oops, I think i just got called for a foul on Wade

Obviously, there is dunking and men being physically stronger than women for the most part, but i am asking more in terms of gameplay...is there something besides dunking that makes the men's game generally more entertaining to people than the women's game? Women have also only recently started really training and playing basketball compared to the men, and i think that women who play have not entirely become as conditioned to basketball playing as men, although their athletic ability has certainly made great strides in recent years. I am a fan of both men's and women's basketball, and I am simply investigating what draws people to one more than the other, and what are the differences that make them so radically separate. Please do not take me as offensive or disrespectful about my comments on this question, I am merely trying to find answers to my questions, and do not wish to in any way offend or disrespect any group of people. Please be respectful in your answers too.

I am not personally a supporter of this proposal (I don't find dunks to be particularly more impressive or entertaining than a nice pass or shot or steal or block), but i was thinking that, because so many people are entertained by dunking and the high-flyers of the men's game, if they would find the women's game more entertaining if the hoop was lowered so that they could dunk as easily as the men. I am interested in what people think about this idea, even for those who do like women's basketball as it is...would you still like it if the hoop were lowered? And for those of you who don't like women's basketball, would you like it if the women could dunk consistently and frequently like the men do? Please elaborate on your answer and don't be disrespectful.
