    for what? A rec league? you arent gonna get recruited at the college level at 5'10" unless you are an absolutely dynamite player. I assume you are a pg? you can definitely get by at 5'10" but you better be a damn good pg and not some undersized wing. Do you have a good dribble?

    If you think you are good enough, then yes.

    But if you hesitate on your own abilities and what you can do, then no.

    Wasn't Mugsy like 6'0? Nate Robinson is like 6'1. Nash is 6'4 and so is Jason Kidd. If that gives you any idea.

    I'm 5'10", and it's tall enough to play basketball.. Of course, it makes the odds of being really good, a whole lot more difficult, especially if you are not incredibly skilled, athletic, and have high basketball smarts.

    If you're banking on having a good shot at the NBA, THINK AGAIN. You have to be very exceptional just to play backup on a poor college team.
