Who would win a game of full court basketball?

[L.Kizzle]

Calvin Murphy is 5'9.

[ThaSwagg3r]

7 footers if they aren't stupid. All they would have to do is have two or three guys play defense and two or three guys play offense and throw really high full court passes. It would be like high school gym basketball.

[NastaMaverick]

the short team. mainly because I feel the tall team would have a hard ass time getting the ball up the court

[bluechox2]

shorties got skillz

[az00m]

the tall ones. because 3 of them can seriously just play offense while two just stay back and play defense hahaha

Good catch. I forgot about him.

[EnoughSaid]

Well, considering that the short guys are better shooters and are much quicker, I think they can score easier. They wouldn't be able to defend whatsoever and the tall guys would waste absolutely no energy in scoring.

[Papaya Petee]

Big guys, they can score on every single possesion.

[Stuckey]

what kind of dumb question is this

[bluechox2]

at least 3 of them tall guys probably cant shoot for life
and all of them cannot dribble the ball up the court without them little folks runing trough their legs

they could get the ball upcourt without even using a single dribble. All they have to do is inbound the ball and do lob passes to each other all the way until they get under the rim

The problem there is that these little guys can jump and would be intercepting any passes that aren't perfect. And Muggsy will scoop up any ball that comes near the floor before a big can even lock his eyes on it.

Although as a whole the bigs are better players, this would not be a contest the little guys would wear them down and shoot open J after open J while creating turnovers on half of the other possessions

Tall players can dribble...and shorties aren't stealing the ball unless they double team. In which case somebody else is open for a pass.
