No, its not.
Shortest player in the NBA - Mugsy Bogues 5"3
If it were too hight bias then he would not have played, played well for that manner. Remember Archibald(5"something) of the 70's? Spud Webb (5"7)of the 90's? Speedy Claxton(5"11),Nate Robinson(5"9) and Earl Boykins(5"5) now?
They not only played NBA but played it well. Won slam dunk contests, namely webb and robinson.

My nephew is very short and has to work his you know what off to keep up, and so far is only excelling in defense, but if it is a big boy he is guarding, my nephew has no power. Yes it is height bias, but I have seen with my own two eyes that MOST short people aren't as good. Now some of them can still kick you know what.

Just because your tall doesn't mean your going to be a good basketball player. Its just gives you a HUGE God Given talent that no one else has!

no height is an obstacle that you need to over come, and many have been able to do it
ex: Earl Boykins 5'-5"

I dont think so. Height is just an additional advantage after skill.
