Anyone else hate the "tall = basketball player" assumption?

So many people immediately assume that anyone they see who is pretty tall must be a basketball player. I get that most basketball players are tall, but it does kind of seem annoying to typecast all tall people as potential basketball players or such.

For example, people often first assume any really tall person (like over ~6'3") they walk by plays basketball. Not every tall person likes sports at all or likes basketball in particular. Also, being tall alone doesn't mean you're going to automatically be great at basketball anyways (some pretty good basketball players I've seen were not even 6 feet tall and could beat 6'+ players one-on-one).

Yes, most basketball players are tall -- but being tall doesn't mean you're automatically good at basketball (also to add is that being short doesn't mean you're automatically bad either -- plus there might be a big height bias in pro drafts & such as well).

Irks me because it kind of paints the suggestion/implication that tall people should be playing basketball solely because they're tall and that kind of seems biased. I've known some who were really good at basketball, but were urged not to play because "they're not tall enough" -- or told they'd never make it far because of their height, despite their skill surpassing taller players/peers.

I mean it isn't like peoples' stature/size/etc. by itself must correlate with their preferences/likes.
