Frequently asked questions

Is 188 cm tall enough to play basketball?
Yes, 188 cm (74.016 inches or about 6'2") is a solid height for basketball. It's above the NBA average of 6'7", though most professional players are taller. At this height, you'd have a competitive advantage in many sports and would meet height requirements for most basketball leagues.
Will a 188 cm person fit comfortably in a standard doorway?
Yes, comfortably. Standard interior doorways are 80 inches (about 203 cm) tall, so a person who is 188 cm (74.016 inches) has about 15 cm (6 inches) of clearance. However, they should be mindful of older buildings or basement doorways, which may be slightly shorter.
