Given your current (or past) skill level, what is the minimum height it would have taken to get you a roster spot in the NBA... 6'5"... 6'9".... 7'2".... or Yaoza!
Right now with my abyssmal talent, I'd have to be at least a seven-footer. In my "prime" a proportioned 6'8" could've been enough. Frankly, any able-bodied person over 6'7" really doesn't have an excuse NOT to be in the league.
I'd say, at this point, I would have to be at least 6'9 - 6'10. I was quicker a few years ago, so I think I could have made it as 6'6 SG/tweener. Anti : That's simply not true. Look at today's college rosters. Every one of those teams has at least 3-4 guys over 6'7. Only a small fraction of them make it to the NBA.
I still think that's a bit short for anyone with the right body and coordination. I mean, there are tons of guys who work hard but can't make it at 6'7''. I'd say you have to be freakishly tall, like a true seven footer or thereabouts, to be virtually assured a spot.
7-Foot Man By Adam Sandler We just wrote this song on the bus the other day so just sit back and relax I'm the 7 foot man, I've commited no crime, Bumping my head into doorways, It happens all the time, I'm 7 feet tall, And I repeat, They don't make a ski boot that can fit my feet, I'm 7 feet tall, And I dont play basketball, I'm 7 feet tall, But I'm still just a man, So of course it hurts me a lot, When I walk into the ceiling fan, Small people say I wish I was him, But its been nine years since I've had a trim, The barber says, I cant reach the top of his head, 7 foot man, (ha ha)I cannot hide, 7 foot man, I know cause I've tried, 7 foot man, My last girlfriend died, Because my penis, Is 7 foot wide!!!!!!!!! So the next time you see me, Walking around, And my head is right about to hit a tree branch, Tell me to duck down, And I'll pay you back , Soon you will see, By getting you frisbee down from that tree, I do what i can, I'm the 7 foot man, 7 foot man, 7 foot man As for me, I'd say 6-8. In college I could have played either forward spot. But since I am only 6' 5 3/4 " tall, I will just have to settle for being the tall guy who dominates against the pickup ball crowd (unless you do what I did one summer, play in the pickup games at Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke, where I was guarded by some guy from Wake who stole it from me twice and rejected my shot once).
