Who says short people can't play basketball or do well at sports? When I was in high school in Vietnam, I started to think that basketball is an interesting sport to play, so I decided to play it. But when people heard about my decision, they told me that I'm too short for basketball, and that I shouldn't play it.
SHORT = NO BASKETBALL ?
Why do many people think that short people can't do well on basketball? I know the height is important, but it's not the only thing to decide that you can play basketball or not.
I wasn't sure about that, but at that time, there were not so many people in my school who played basketball. I was busy studying since I had a lot of homework, and I had to go to tutor center everyday. I didn't have much time to play sport actually, so I decided to stop thinking about basketball.
But as I came to United States, I had more free time to do what I like, and my cousins showed me how to play. I realized that people were wrong that short people can't play basketball because my cousin can play really well even though he's not tall. And the surprise part is that my shortest cousin can play basketball much better than the taller one.
