If Shaq were poor he'd be screwed. 22 shoe? HA, good luck. Try finding 15 wides even. I order them on Amazon now.
I have long legs (for my height) and a tiny torso. I'm 5'9" but have a 32 inch inseam. In basketball terms, it is pretty useless because you don't play defense with your inseam.
Five inches taller with shorter legs. On say a Southwest Airlines flight my whole head sticks up over the top of the seat and 99 out of a 100 people seem to be level or below. It was really helpful in highschool football because people my size couldn't move me. Too bad I hated football and went to a small school. Might have been a real player. I just loved basketball instead.
My fuck-around-time usually ends up being a headboard destruction project, than a construction project.
