Sorry, 6' 6" guys with 3' 6" arms! Still not impressed! 
The average height when invented was around 5’ 6" tall, and it was about tossing (shooting) the ball into a target.
Once an individual has grasped the shooting techniques of the game they can shoot from just about anywhere within 25’ of the basket. I bought a ball and spent two weeks at a court at the elementary school by myself, and was a pretty good player in school. I could beat the top three players at our school one-on-one hands down.
Got in several fights with them over it too. Prima donnas that they were? That’s why I was on the wrestling team! Basketball is like anything else if you have the physical ability ad the time to practice, oh and a desire to excel you can be a good player.
If ya play your whole life and have mastered it, ya need to challenge your abilities by raising the bar, or in this case the basket! That’s how ya get better!
