813396
The rim is at 10 feet. \nThe arena itself will vary from court to court. The average will be about 40 feet for the lighting trusses, the top beams will be about ten feet higher for a typical arena.

International hoops are 450-457mm and the NBA hoops are 18 inches = 457mm. The International could be a possible 7 mm smaller. Just the rule differences, but they are probably the same hoops.

I'm 100% sure that every NBA player can at least touch the rim...and I'm pretty sure that every player that at least 6'3'' can dunk. \n\nSo in other words, everyone from the 2-spot to the 5-spot can dunk. As for point guards, I'd say most of them could dunk. Even the little guys like Earl Boykins and Nate Robinson can dunk. I've seen Tony Parker dunk as well. The only player in my mind who's questionable is Steve Nash. Like I said, I'm sure he can at least grab rim, but I've never seen him dunk. No disrespect to white people though, but it's a fact: white people don't have as high as a vertical jump as black people. That's because black people have a high percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibers, allowing for a higher vertical jump. (I read that from somewhere)\n\nSo anyways, I think everyone in the NBA can dunk, but I'm not sure about Steve Nash.\n\nUPDATE:\nTo the person who said Iverson can't dunk: he can. I've seen him dunk several times. \n\nTo the person who said Earl Boykins (the 5'5'' Denver guard) can't dunk: he can. I read this in a magazine, and I've also seen video footage.\n\nAs for players' hands being big enough to palm the ball, I think anyone 6 feet tall and over has big enough hands to palm the ball. I'm about 5'11'' and I can easily palm the ball. Most of my friends who are about the same height as me are able to palm the ball as well. Even if the smaller guys like Nate Robinson (I think he's 5'7'') can dunk. If you saw this year's dunk contest, it took him a while to get his dunk down, but he did it.

Michael Jordan is "listed" as 6 feet 6 inches tall, however, NBA players typically list their height WITH their shoes on.  I have a friend that served as security for Michael Jordan, and Michael Jordan WITHOUT shoes is just a hair over 6 feet 5 inches.

NBA and College – 94 feet long and 50 feet wide \nHigh School – 84 feet long and 50 feet wide \nJunior High – 74 feet long and 42 feet wide \n\nThe Foul Line: \n\nFor all courts the “foul line” distance is 15 feet from the foul line to the front of the backboard. This measurement is commonly confused as from the center of the basket and front of the rim. \n\nThe Key: \n\nStandard for all basketball courts, “the key” (sometimes called “the lane”) is 12 feet wide. Regulation courts have the backboard extending out 4 feet over the baseline into the key. A 6 foot arc (half circle) extends from the foul line away from the basket to complete the key. \n\nThe 3 Point Line (Arc): \n\nCollege and High School Basketball Courts – the 3 point arc is 19 feet 9 inches, with a straight line extending out 5 feet 3 inches (63 inches) from the baseline. Past those points the line extends 19 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim. \n\nNBA Basketball Courts – the 3 point arc is 22 feet to the center of the rim on the sides with a straight line extending out 16 feet 9 inches from the baseline. Past those points the line extends out 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim. \n\nThe Backboard and Rim: \n\nThe regulation distance from the ground to the top of the rim is 10 feet for all levels of play. Regulation backboards are 6 feet wide (72 inches) by 42 inches tall. All basketball rims (hoops) are 18 inches in diameter. The inner square on the backboard is 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall. \n\nAll line markings on the floor are 2 inches wide and can vary in color.

The shortest player in the league right now is Earl Boykins of the Denver Nuggets he is 5'5" but he is African American.  The next shortest guy is Yuta Tabuse he is Japanese and he is 5'9".  There is like a 15 guy tie for white guys at 6'1".  I hope this helps.  Take care.

The shortest player ever to play in the NBA is Muggsy Bogues at 1.60 meters (5 ft 3 in). Other shorter players have also experienced success at the professional level. Anthony "Spud" Webb was just 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) tall, but had a 42-inch (1.07 m) vertical leap, giving him significant height when jumping. Currently the shortest player in the NBA is Earl Boykins of the Denver Nuggets. He is 5 feet 5 inchs.

An NBA regulation basketball is built with wood upon insulated material. The heat on the outside of the court is retained, while the frigid cold from the hockey rink underneath is kept down there, keeping the rink cold. The basketball court is made out of approx. 10' by 10' squares, which are assembled over the hockey rink before a basketball game (or disassembled for a hockey match)

In order to dunk, you will need to get your wrist above the rim. At 5' 5", I estimate that standing and reaching as high as you can, your wrist will be no more than 6' 5". That means you will have to develop a vertical jump of 41". Not unheard of, but difficult.\n\nI would recommend jumping rope, weights, and bounding up steps, two or three steps at a time, both single legged and double legged. It might work, it might not.

The court is 78 feet (23.77 m) long, and its width is 27 feet (8.23 m) for singles matches and 36 feet (10.97 m) for doubles matches. Additional clear space around the court is required in order for players to reach overrun balls. A net is stretched across the full width of the court, parallel with the baselines, dividing it into two equal ends. The net is 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 m) high at the posts, and 3 feet (914 mm) high in the center.

Allen Iverson...  He is LISTED at 6'0" which means he's about 5'10".  AND YET! he still averages 30+.  Also he dishes out assists left and right.  But the biggest reason why is HE HAS NOBODY ELSE AROUND HIM.  Yea Chris Webber is good but Allen Iverson made it to the NBA Championship while carrying his team on his back!
