I know that I probably won't play in the NBA, but I do wanna know what it takes to be a 6'1" PG and succeed in the NBA, because I like having a big future goal to help me gain more current success.
So what does it take to be 6 foot 1 and succeed/have a long career in the NBA. Is it mostly about being fast and strong? Especially fast?

One of the best ways you can plan to have a great basketball career is by modeling your game from players that were the same height as you. For example:
Isiah Thomas
Allen Iverson
Joe Dumars
Stephon Marbury
Steve Nash
Kevin Johnson
Baron Davis
Chris Paul
Mike Bibby
All these players are 6'1" and lower, but are Hall Famers, Future Hall Famers, All Stars and future All Stars. Try to find similarities in there games and try to make them part of your game.

If you got the speed and be able to stay healthy and not have any serious injuries during high school or college and if you devlop a good all around shooting style and if your shooting percentage is there. but natrual ability is alot of what NBA scouts are after you gatta be able to dish the ball and get rebounds and play some D.

You can make it in the NBA if you work hard. NBA point guards need to be able to run a team's offense so you should practice passing the ball to your team mates in practice by doing drills. Practice moving without the ball, this will make you a better defender. NBA point guards need to run, so you should do sprints to build up your speed. Get your legs stronger by lifting weights. This will make you a better rebounder. I hope my advice helps.

if you play basketball, you will be successful if you are a good player.
height means NOTHING.
and you will eventually learn that as you play.
there will be shorter players that are fast and good
and there will be tall players that are good.
there will be short players who are bad
and tall players who are bad.

If you can touch the rim with your elbows you might have a chance.
