Honest review: Basketball is brilliant but height disadvantage in some positions is real

Basketball has been one of the best decisions I've made for my fitness and mental health. The crossover dribble and the deeper shot clock awareness keep training mentally engaging in a way the gym never did.

But I want to be honest: height disadvantage in some positions. Nobody told me about that before I started and it caught me off guard. Invest in proper ankle braces early — again, something I wished I'd done sooner. breaking down defenders with dribble moves came later than I expected but when it arrived it was worth the wait. Four stars rather than five because of that one persistent issue.
