Man I agree with Matt! I’m only 5′6 but finding clothes that fit me is a serious problem…I walk around the mall and pants end at my ankles…

Awesome post man, screw the haters.

5′9″ is the average male human height. 65% of men are are 5′11.5″ or less. 95% of men are 6′2″ or less. Only 0.3% are 6′4.5″ or taller; that’s about 1-in 1000. The odds of being 6′10? 1-in-a-million? maybe?

“You can’t teach height!”
“You can’t coach height!”

The airplane thing sucks. I flew to England, it was torture! There should be a law that any passenge who is 6′4″ or more automatically gets the first seat in coach. the exit row, or bumped to 1st class. That’s only fair.

Thanks for the post. I figured airplanes would not be comfortable for most people in the NBA. I’m not that tall relative to you (5′10) but even I find economy seats brutal after more than 30 minutes.

How are team planes different?

Being tall I’m always amazed at how many people will just randomly ask me how tall I am, after a while I decided giving a strait answer was just to easy so I started telling them 5’20”. The initial confusion on their faces is priceless, and the length of time it takes them to do the math to figure out how tall 5’20” actually is an equally amusing game. One woman was so confused by the response I swear she went to get a pencil and paper to figure it out because like five minutes after I gave her the 5’20” response she came back and was like, “you’re really that tall?”

Man, I’m only 5′ 10″ but since I’m in Hawaii, I’m taller that a lot of people. I hate seeing all the dirty stuff that shorter people don’t notice. I’ve seen layers of dirt on top of peoples refrigerators that just need a couple of seeds to start a small garden.

You aren’t even that tall for a ham sandwich. After seeing you a bunch of times at the subway near UA, I started realizing how they really fudge your height on the statistics pages hehe. Just like they listed Jason Gardner at 5-10; well I’m 5-10 and he was like three inches shorter than me
