    Default Players with the longest arms

    I know Scottie Pippen had long arms, but who else? How about those who are currently playing?

    Patrick O'Bryant has a 9'4 standing reach and 7'4 wingspan. Saer Sene's are 9'5 and7'8.5 which is the longest wingspan I have ever read of.

    lol no im not sure i spelled his name right. he was 7' 7" or something like that. Im pretty sure dallas drafted him in the second round a few years ago but i havent heard of him since then. but i just remember reading that he could either dunk on his toes or flat footed.

    I heard "normal really tall person" problems, for lack of a better way of saying it. Problems with his legs and all that stuff. As for long arms:

    Rondo comes to mind at PG
    Tayshaun obviously has freakish looking arms
    Rasheed and KG both have the high release and reach
    Tyson Chandler looks really long as well

    Those are off the top of my head. I've heard about Sene and O'Bryant as well and their wingspans are really long as well.

    Pavel was tall but wasn't very long at all. His wingspan is shorter than his height.

    Judging by the above picture, no, he couldn't dunk flatfooted.

    He wasn't even good at dunking when he jumped. Dude got blocked by Maceij Lampe. I'm sure there's some unwritten rule that anytime you get blocked by Maceij Lampe, you get expelled from the league. This wasn't even a weak side block, or I didn't see him there, he got me from behind type block. This was on a 1 on 1 move, I see you there, you can't guard me, I'm making a post move on you, blocked Bum, waste or a damn 22nd pick. Delonte West, Trevor Ariza, David Harrison, and Anderson Varajeo were still on the board.

    His arms aren't the longest per se - but Dwyane Wade has a 6'11 wingspan. Craziness! Fred Jones does too.

    Here's where I got it from: http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-...draft=15&sort=

    There's a few 6'1 guys with 6'8.5 wingspans too

    edit - Will Solomon from 2001 is 5'11.75" tall and has a 6'9.5" wingspan!

    Might you have him confused with Jaber Rouzbahani, an Iranian giant who was elligible to be drafted the same year as Pavel? I recall people discussing his ability to dunk on his tippy toes back in 2005, but he was just too raw and unathletic to warrant being selected.
