I wanted to be a 6’6 SG growing up(not cuz of Jordan btw). I never would’ve wrote it down tho. It wouldn’t be as weird to see 66 as opposed to 69 lol. They just chose the wrong height

I wanted to be a 6’8 PF. I was told the doctor said I would grow to that height but I never got close. Based on my talent level I thought I could be the next Charles Oakley if I did.

Dwight probably isn’t the best player to refer to being double pounded.

This 3 on 3 structure would be interesting but I would not like KD’s odds defending any of those centers.

This is one of the more impressive stats I've seen measured. It is crazy what they are able to track!
