<div class="quote_poster">AllNet Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Unless you are playing pro sports there isn't alot of use being so tall. You can't help It but in life being really tall hurts you in terms of buying clothes, going through doors, sitting down and having bad problems. I guess It helps If you have guys trying to pick fights knowing you can beat them down pretty bad but really It's not alot of fun. Realistic you don't want to be any taller than say 6'4-6'6.</div> i understand, but a lot of the short people are liek i wanna be 8'4 lol its jsut funny cause everyone whos short thinks its great being tall, and every one whos tall wants to shrink down a few inches cause its not great

Nice find. 3"+ why not? I would be 6'6" = good NBA height. If I knew I was going to be my height when I was in middle school, I would have probably flunked out (of high school) thinking I could be a pro baller. Instead of "playing" basketball I would have practiced everyday and focused on improving every aspect of my game.

It's not just about being tall you have to be so skilled. I was a decent rebounder and a good shooter but not much else. I also had injury problems early which hurt my speed. I was closer to becoming a pro Tennis player than I was a basketball player. I was very good at both and really never gave either up. I have no regrets, I'm in a very high paid job where I get to be with my family more than If I was travelling alot so It's not all bad. I will always be a very good basketball player for the average person but in terms of professional? not that close to be honest. I have played a few NBA players one on one and It shows you where you are at and where they are. Tennis wise I'm still worthy enough to be one of the best Tennis players in my state. So that means alot knowing how good I am against non pro's.

<div class="quote_poster">Legacy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Who did you play?</div> Stephen Jackson loads of times Malik Rose Speedy Claxton Only guys I have really played. I did manage to shoot around with Al Harrington and Jason Richardson when I went to Golden State last month. Only because Sjax invited me to do so.

We don't speak that often but every now and then. We didn't talk that much after the brawl for obvious reasons but now he is no longer a Pacer, I can no longer hate the guy He said If GS makes the playoffs he's getting me some tickets for one of the home games. I may have to pass If I'm still on my honeymoon. Depends when the games will be.

Who has worked for the Spurs at the arena doing the basic stuff in terms of making sure the court is good to go e.t.c. I wouldn't say I have connections with the Spurs but I do get to hear some rumours you wouldn't hear from the media and sometimes I do get info on trades before they are announced to the public. When Spurs signed Nick Van Exel I was told about It a day before It pretty much happened. You have got to be careful sometimes though, as I could of got in trouble had I said before I was allowed to but luckily I've never done that. I shouldn't be saying this but Sjax was so over the moon about the trade to GS that I got a text message a few hours after It has been offical with the words..."So glad I'm out of that *********'s system man" something he would never of dared saying to the media.

Thats pretty lucky to have a connection with a NBA player. The closest thing I have to that is friends with Brad Millers cousin.
