Abstract
In the world of basketball, there is a widespread misconception that a player's performance is primarily determined by their physical characteristics, particularly their height. This research paper aims to statistically examine the degree to which height actually influences a player's offensive and defensive performance. The total number of blocks a player made during the 2022–2023 NBA season is used in this paper to statistically analyze the relationship between a player's height and his defensive performance. On the other hand, the number of field goals a player made overall during the 2022–2023 NBA season is used to analyze the relationship between a player's height and his offensive performance. The sample population randomly chosen for the study consists of 50 NBA players which represent 10% of all players who competed in the 2022–2023 season. The statistical analysis of the performance is done using Pearson’s correlation coefficient test which is then followed by a two-tailed t-test with a significance value of 95% to determine whether the coefficients obtained are statistically significant. The overall findings suggest that whilst height has a positive correlation with both defensive and offensive performance, it may be more beneficial in the context of the former.
