Does Josh Smith lead the NBA in having the least amount of wasted height?

    Something that I keep on noticing watching Smith as a Rocket-- he is not super tall, but his effective height is really good even compared to a guy like Bosh. His shoulders are way up on his torso, his arms are long and he has no neck and a really tiny head. I can't stop thinking about how weird his neck-head situation is. It's kind of annoying and distracting.

    No wonder he's been an effective shot blocker.

    On top of that, he just nixed our championship aspirations by telling Chris Broussard our potential was "unattainable."

    Not sure youre right Carl.

    I will wait for neck length expert bballholic to make the call, hopefully it adds to his dissertation on neck length and NBA success.

    It's hard to believe that he can't even palm a basketball.

    His buddy Dwight is in the same boat. I've always wanted to describe Dwight's GI Joe figurine proportions the way you have but was afraid I might come off as being a jerk off.

    Carl is coming off as a jerk off...unless he's writing some well disguised satire about Josh Smith's production/size ratio.

    Otherwise, cut the personal crap. You guys ever wonder if these players look at the premier forum for their team? Give them a reason to love the best fanbase in sports.

    If you want to look at Josh's head to neck ratio and are going to compare Josh to Bosh, just look at Bosh's neck.

    Reminds me of the time T-Mac told a national TV audience that basketball was his "escape goat." That's two errors in one.
