        Yeah and there are a lot of sub 6’ basketball players out there. But when someone talks about basketball players we think of professional basketball players usually from the NBA. The equivalent is Japan Professional sumo, which I seem to find the average weight is between 330-350lbs. Roughly 100 pounds more than the average NFL/NBA player.
