At the age of nine, he was able to carry his father Harold F. Wadlow, later Mayor of Alton, who stood 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) and weighed 77 kg (170 lb), up the stairs of the family home.

His dad and I share exactly the same stats!

manute bol's wingspan was 15 feet long. he weighed 130lbs.

Everytime I see his exposed shin I just think how has he never broken his leg? It's a long arse toothpick for goodness sake.

Leandro Barbosa. his may not be the longest in the league but, still pretty long

I wonder how long this guy's armspan is? Hahhahaha he could probably dunk standing flatfooted

Too bad he doesn't play basketball though.

Maybe it's been mentioned already, but George Hill (the Spurs recent first round pick) has crazy long arms.

He's 6 foot 2 inches, with a 6'9 wingspan...

In his short career with the Spurs, his career highs are 23 points, 8 assists, 11 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, 2 3PTM.

He's a unique player, but his game is comparable to Monta Ellis and Rajon Rondo, IMO. Long, athletic, and can get to the basket well.

If you could grab the rim flatfooted at 'only' 7,5" then I would congratulate you for having crazy long arms.

When I think of crazy long arms and standing reach, Jaber Rouzbahani because wherein at 'only' 7,5" he can grab the rim flatfooted because his armspan is 8 feet! 7,5" Yao, by comparsion, is several inches shy of the rim flatfooted and has to go on his tippy toes just to touch the rim because his armspan is only 7,5". This 7,4" guy Shagari Alleyne can also touch the rim flatfooted (his armspan is also 8 feet!).

Among active players it's Tayshaun Prince and Nicolas Batum

Tayshaun Prince's is far from the longest even though he has very long arms proportionally speaking. Kenny George has the longest arm span I've heard at a whopping 8,5!

Andrew Bynum has really long arms. Rajon Rondo has long arms for his height.

Travis Outlaw has some really long arms

Didn't think Oliver Miller would've slipped through the cracks. A 6'9 dude with a 7'6 wingspan. The exact dimensions of Kevin Durant.... well maybe 2 Kevin Durants...

Damn that's a long wingspan! 9 inches more than his own height. He must almost be able to touch his knees standing up lol!
