The height, weight and age are important fundamental parameters of basketball athletes. Though the comparision research on the height, weight and age between the China and the United States' excellent basketball athletes, we can seek the reason of level distance between China and world strong basketball country.The research suggest: 1), The height of China basketball teams' athletes has arrived world advanced level, but the whole circumstance of China excellent athletes is not optimistic. There is significant difference on height between China CBA athletes and American NBA athletes. 2), There is not big difference on the absolute weight between China basketball basketball teams' athletes and Amerrican basketball teams' athetes', but the difference on comparative weight is bigger. The difference is enlarged when the weight is compared between China CBA and American NBA athletes, China WCBA and American WNBA ethletes. 3), there is significant difference on age between China basketball teams' athletes and American basketball teams' athletes. There is also significant difference om age between China CBA and American NBA athletes, China WCBA and American WNBA ethletes.The effect role of ethletes' weight, height and age on athletes'competition level is interactive. Although the athletes of China basketball teams have height advantage over the athletes of American basketball teams', there is not big difference on absolute weight, the difference on comparative weight is significant. At the same time, the athletes of China CBA and WCBA don't have height and weight advantage over the athletes of American NBA and WNBA athletes respectively. On the contrary, there is significant difference between them. So there is only a small portion athletes of China have arrived at the physical criteria need of world excellent basketball athletes.AbstractCompared with American excellent basketball athletes, the China excellent basketball athletes are too small on age and have few opportunity to attend high level competition, thus affecting the experience accumulation of China basketball athletes and having disadvantage over the competition level.At the same time, we see that the preparation strength of China basketball is weak. The shortage of excellent basketball athletes is a big problem that prevents the development of China basketball course.
