Merged: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

Then why do you call him 7 foot, when you admit that his "6-11" is likely exaggerated?

 

Howard was fucking horrible. Those first 2 dunks didn't even deserve a 40 that's why the judges got booed when they gave him a 50. The whole fucking all star weekend was rigged.

6'9 without shoes
6' 10.25" with them.

 

Is this an NBA board or an OCD help clinic?

Jesus Christ, it's not that big of a deal.

 

I'm sure if Rudy was 6'11" he could of dunked on that raised hoop.

 

Prepare for a rain man onslaught.

 

Hey, I'm on your side in this whole thing, your post just got me curious enough to look it up.

 

and how old was howard then? is it really inconceivable that he could have grown an inch or two?

 

Besides, Dwight was like 18 when that measurement was taken, there's a good chance he's grown an inch or two since then.

 

No problem fella!

Good find though!

 

What is the appropriate metric for judging a dunk contest?

To me, if a guy can do a dunk 10 times out of 10 WITHOUT PRACTICE and it's been done before several
times, it's definitely a bad dunk. That's why I didn't like Nate's jumping over Howard dunk, and wouldn't
have scored it high at all. Ditto for Howard's 12 foot dunk.

 

Dwight is a seven footer.

And you guys are ridiculous. I'm not even going to debate a bunch of Blazer homers.

 

Aren't you a Magic homer?

 

Proof? Link? Source?

 

I've covered the Orlando Magic for the past four seasons and I've seen him grow from the 6'10-6'11 he was when he entered the league to 7'0-7'0.5. I've met the guy and interviewed him close to thirty times since he entered the league. There's your source.

 

Yeah and you're a Celtics/Rajon Rondo homer.

 

That's nice and all, but it's still not proof.

 

Alright, I'll get a quote next game.

 

A measurement from a site will do. Everywhere I've seen has him at 6-11.
