Re: Rondo.. the most ridicilous wingspan considering size?
Jason Maxiells without shoes 6'5" (6'6.25" with shoes) and has a 7'3.25" wingspan.... who ever placed him at 6'7" (as he is today listed in NBA.com) is a MORON...... i think maybe he lied a bit just so he doesnt look like a midget Power Forward... which at 6'7" he already is anyways lol... but as u can see he makes up for it with this INSANE wingspan Originally Posted by PistonsFan#21

Wade has impressive wingspan for his size.... 6'10" 3/4 and he is 6'4"... but nothing that super freaky...Last edited by pauk; 10-18-2011 at 12:26 PM.

A super-long wingspan is only useful for basketball. Otherwise, it's got to be a hassle for getting clothes that fit.

hahahah yea... imagine trying to pick a jacket/suit or something..... the arms just stick out no matter what.... so you take a XXL jacket/suit to cover your arms.... but now everything just hangs loose and baggy on your body instead, but only the arms fit nice... Originally Posted by Flashbeanie

Re: Rondo.. the most ridicilous wingspan considering size?
Rondo is definitely unique but out of all the position players that i'd want to have that freakish wingspan, i'd least want it for my pg. especially if you cant shoot a freaking simple FT
Wade, Pippen, Prince all guys who use their wingspan especially well for wing guys.
and McHale and Pau Gasol. both guys with great length and used it to their max ability.
guys i hope who will be able to utilize their crazy length for great defense: Durant, Hassan Whiteside (7'8" wingspan), and JaVale McGee.

Re: Rondo.. the most ridicilous wingspan considering size?
I heard that due to JaVale McGee's wingspan, the NBA was going to innovate a "STEALBLOCK" category.

Having the same wingspan as your height is considered normal not T-rex. Originally Posted by pauk

Re: Rondo.. the most ridicilous wingspan considering size?
I'm 6'1" with a 6'7" wingspan, but some of that is because I'm very broad-shouldered, sorta like Dwight Howard if his shoulder muscles weren't THAT insane. I think my arms are normal length (I'm a 36/37" sleeve iirc). Originally Posted by Sakkreth

I know the Biz has a huge wingspan, something like he's 6'8 with a 7'7 wingspan.

Kevin Mchale was 6'10" and reportedly had an 8'0" wingspan for a difference of 14".
