<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Lamar is 6'10" and 6'11" with shoes with a 7'6" (at least) wingspan </div> Whoa, a 90 inch wingspan. I bet, well I know Yao and Shawn don't even have that wingspan when they're 90 inches tall.
Lamar Odom is the key to draft By Skip Baylss / c. Chicago Tribune 27/6/99 CHICAGO -- Now you see him, now you don't. Now you love him, now you can't. Now you're too scared to take him with the No. 1 pick, now you're scared not to. He is the key to Wednesday night's NBA draft. What the Bulls do with the first pick begins and ends with their decision on a 19-year-old who can be a coach's dream and nightmare... Here is a 6-foot-11-inch point-forward whose feel for the game and basketball IQ are as close as the NBA has seen to Larry Bird's or Magic Johnson's. Here is a pass-first catalyst with love-of-the-game charisma whose one on-court fault is being too unselfish... Not only was Odom measured at 6-11 -- he grew 2 inches in the last year -- but his wingspan was slightly longer than that of last year's No. 1 pick, 7-footer Michael Olowokandi. The Grizzlies found Odom's speed and quickness to be extraordinary. Michael Olowokandi had a 7'5" or 7'6" wingspan so this is all feasible

To bad he doesn't really no how to use them very well when it comes to blocking shots. It's not like he's a skinny guy or anything.
