Today more than ever, basketball is a sport for athletes where young people start to dunk earlier and earlier, to chain races at very high intensity. This is what makes Connor Williams unique in the NCAA, he who plays at a good level despite a physical which does not correspond to the ideal of the athlete.
Basketball is a great sport for many reasons, not least because it allows people with different physiques to shine. If being tall is obviously an advantage to exist and dominate, Allen Iverson has managed to make his place in history from the height of his 1m83, which is a relatively normal height. Similarly, Mugsy Bogues spent 15 years in the NBA when he was no taller than 1m60! If the talent is there, everyone has a chance.

Nikola Jokic is perhaps the best example, since he is not the fastest, not the strongest, and yet he remains on two consecutive MVP titles. Moreover, these differences are celebrated by the fans, the proof with the enormous hype Connor Williams, the most imposing player of NCAA.
