This was classic:
People always overstate or understate sizes in the NBA, college, and High School. It's common knowledge that I guess you aren't aware of. They list KG at 6'11 but he's more along the lines of 7'3. T-Mac is close to 7'0 not 6'9 or w/e he's listed. Or how Ben Wallace is closer to 6'4 and Charles Barkley was closer to 6'3. Don't believe everything you read. I guess you don't remember when they weighed Lebron sometime in November and said he was 270+? And the grewing of 2 inches 2 years ago stemmed to the back pain he was experience then. Check your facts before you judge me. Rodman grew 8 inches senior year of HS, again check your facts. Only David Robinson grew in college years when he was in military school and he was 20. But he just had a late growth spurt, those occur sometimes, it's weird but it does happen. There's a difference between a 4-10 inch growth spurt which was just delayed and just straight extra small growth at that kind of age. And out of nowhere growing 1.5-2 inches at 22. I mean common that's not natural by any which way you look at it. Male bodies develop till the age of 25. Meaning if you feed it HGH from lets say 18 (when Lebron is a rookie) to now he can grow an extra 1-3 inches during that time span very easily. There's a reason when they identify children who will only grow to about 4'6-5'0 they feed them small doses of HGH. It helps people grow during the developmental years. However, I'm sure Lebron just did it to help his body recover. 95% of this board doesn't know what it means to play sports at that kind of level and what kind of toll it actually takes on the body. Especially basketball where the cutting, jumping, change of directions, 230+ lb bodies ramming into each other full speed, and anything else you want to think of does on a body. It's not something that should be done for extended period of times. Our bodies are just not built for that.
People were clownin' dude saying that Yao & T-Mac were the "Twin Towers."

Well, Barkley was always listed at 6'6'' even though I think he could have been more like 6'4'' or 6'4 1/2", so calling him6'3", while incorrect, doesn't look like the dumbest thing that guy said . . . Ben Wallace on the other hand . .
