What is the approximate height of the average basketball player?

• A. 2 m
• B. 1.8 m
• C. 1.5 m
• D. 2.5 m

Answer: (A)

Basketball players are usually taller than the average person, so the typical height for a player sits around six feet six to six feet seven inches—roughly two meters. This makes about two meters the best approximate for the average player height. Heights like 2.5 meters would be unusually tall for most players, while 1.8 meters or 1.5 meters are shorter than the common roster range, which is dominated by taller players.
