Maybe not by too much, maybe shorter by 4-6 inches( 10-15 cm ) will do, and no it wouldnt make the game tougher for shorter people( as some people think ). IN FACT, it would make it easier as shorter people can reach nearer to the rim(or dunk) and tall people cant block near the rim( due to goaltending rules )... So this game wouldnt be too height bias... I personally think that the 10 ft( 305 cm ) rim is too high... What are your opinions?

The NBA has been considering RAISING the rim, players are all over it now lowering it would probalbe see a rise in goaltending calls we have more athletic players in the NBA today so we better raise it to kep tha guys with hops off tha rim.

i see another dumb a s s said to you ankle weights. why wear something on your ankles that are going to add pressure to it. it will mess you up. if you are serious, buy Strength shoes. plenty on EBAY< but you have to do the exercises and in 3 months you might be dunking. maybe 4. or try=== 3 times a week, 5 sets, resting 30 secs, for the folling. sprints of 75 yards, not full speed power skip power slides (each way) run backwards. jump in place knees to chest, 15 seconds Power jump, 40 yards. find a bench or something about 1 1/2 ft high jump up and down about 10 times, then rest. jumpr rope for 1 min-- 5 times. 30 sec rest.... do about 6 of these things.... i like the power skips. i jump off one leg and touch the rim. i am 5 ft 9, and used to dunk. later

Yeah I say bring it down to about 5 feet so my 5 year old can have a shot at dunking on it.
While we're at it can we shorten the Marathon to about 5 miles so everyone can be able to run it.

Are you kidding?!!? The high jumpers wouldn't get an advantage anymore. No one wants to see a dunk on every play.
