Being short in the NBA seems like it could be a real double-edged sword sometimes. It’s both a gift and a curse.
Of course, it’s a curse because you’re shorter than everyone else even if you’re, like, 6 feet tall on the dot. Sure, you’re taller than regular humans. But amongst your peers? You might as well be a 15 year old.
You’re going to constantly get targeted on defense by taller players and there’s nothing you can really do about it. Sometimes you’re super strong like Chris Paul and can handle those mismatches. But most times, you’re food. It is what it is. Everyone understands.
