If you want stats, then do what they said. Otherwise...Rush is an SG, 6'6", 215 lbs. out of Missouri (that's why you like him huh?)... Born October 30th, 1980...he attended Pembroke Hill High School in Kansas City before playing for Missouri in college until 2002 (named Honorable Mention All-America by the Associated Press in 2001 and 2002). He was selected as the 20th pick in the 2002 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors, who traded his draft rights to the Los Angeles Lakers. He has a great shot, especially behind the arc, but has problems handling the ball and can throw bad passes at times, which cause his turnovers.
+ For years, Kareem was known as "Jaron's brother" btw, Kareem is so not 6'6''...he's about 6'4'' ... (i don't care what he's listed as, he's about 2-3 inches shorter than Kobe)

Then that means that Shaq would be 7'3" and Ming, therefore, would be 7'7" or so...which makes Gheorghe Muresan 7'9"... When I met Kobe in February, he is around 6'7"...because I'm 6'2" and one of my friends that I play ball with is 6'6"...so I could pretty much tell that Kobe was a little taller than he was just by being around him.
You can never realy tell exatly how tall a player is by looking at them, because you measure how tall someone is when they stretch themselves and have a straight back (their normal posture can be over an inch shorter than their real height)
KRush is growing into a solid role player. As a rookie, his handles were shaky, defense was suspect, and his arm strength was not enough for the NBA three-point...but after a lot of training, along with playing with GP and Kobe last season, he has shown solid improvement. I've watched him in the summer leagues for the past two summers and he's definitely gained some more confidence in his dribbles...he used to have a nasty habit of picking up his dribble and then getting pressured into making bad passes. His rookie year was a hard transition for him...the few times he was thrown into the lineup, he was forced to play as the initiator for the triangle offense...which was definitely not his cup of tea because of his sub-par handles. But this past season, he was put in the lineup as a scorer...which is exactly what he is. He's worked a lot on his arm strength, which was clearly visible to me when I compared his arm muscle definition from his first summer to the next...and of course you saw it in his 3 point shooting performances throughout last season. His defense is very solid now. He does a very nice job of moving his feet and staying in front of his man, much like we saw him against Spree in the playoffs. Don't plan on KRush becoming an all-star during his career...but watch for him to grow into a very solid role player.
Thx for the info I was wondering if he had his own site on the net cuz that would be awsome but the info u gave me was what i neeeded thx alot again
www.kareemrush.net One of our very own original JBBers was -- or was about to -- work for the company (ultimatepros.com) that does the official sites for KRush and others.
