The relationship between wingspan and shoe size is often studied in anatomy and biomechanics, as both are influenced by genetic factors. While there is no strict formula linking the two, here are some general insights: 1. Wingspan and Shoe Size Correlation Wingspan: The distance between the tips of a person’s […]

Michael Jordan has never mentioned his penis size. And there are no locker room stories about his size either. The only thing to go on is his son, Marcus Jordan, who dates Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, Larsa Pippen. Larsa has suggested that Marcus is well endowed. What we don’t know though […]

Assists are generally worth a bit more than rebounds in basketball. Some evidence of this is to look at how a standard-scoring basketball fantasy league measures the value of assists and rebounds. An assist is worth 1.5 points and a rebound is worth 1.2 points. The reason those values are […]

The 1996 NBA Draft is the one with the best draft class. It featured Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Stephon Marbury, and Steve Nash among other notable players. Here is the full list and where they were drafted: 1. Allen Iverson 2. Marcus Camby 3. Shareef Abdur-Rahim 4. Stephon […]

Michael Jordan left basketball after his father died to play the sport he loved as a kid, baseball. Some people think that Jordan leaving the NBA for a season strengthens the idea that he is better than Lebron because the Bulls were very strong that year and Jordan would have […]

Lebron James had a vertical reach of 44 inches. Michael Jordan had a vertical reach of 48 inches. Lebron was roughly 4 inches taller than Jordan, so the maximum height they could reach while jumping would have been almost identical. When comparing Michael Jordan and Lebron James, working out who […]

Michael Jordan has said that he would average a lot more points today than he did when he played. I agree: Jordan’s stats in general would be a lot higher in today’s game and during most of the Lebron James era. Lebron deserves praise for having lasted so long in […]

Michael Jordan was as good of a player as advertised. All you have to do is listen to the star players who played with him but were from the next era of basketball such as Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady and they’ll tell you how good he was. That said, […]

Yes, we most likely will get basketball leagues that rival the NBA. If you look at soccer, there are numerous soccer leagues around the world that people love and usually, three of those are arguably the best leagues in the world. Throughout my life, there have been two soccer leagues […]

A modern basketball shoe will add an average of 1.5 inches to the height of a basketball player. When you add the sock on top of that, the average basketball player stands up to 2 inches taller with shoes than without them. This height has increased slightly with new shoe […]

As far as team sports go and the players moving around the field or court, basketball is the fastest game in the world. Basketball is a fast-paced sport that uses all facets of the human body to play the game well. You use your arms a lot more than in […]

Big Shaq has never revealed his actual penis size. However, he did once say that because he is so tall that his penis doesn’t look as big as it would on a normal body. Judging by his facial expression, he was a little insecure about this. But there was nothing […]

I found Michael Jordan’s reasoning for choosing this starting five to be on the conceited side. He said those four guys are players he knows would do what he wants them to do and therefore that the team would be unbeatable (because Jordan then would be very powerful). A champion […]

Jerry West should be financially compensated for appearing on the NBA logo, either a once-off payment for every year that the NBA chooses to feature him on the logo. The NBA is a business that chooses to maximize its profits whenever it can, usually by charging the working class of […]

No. It’s unlikely that the Chicago Sky will go deep into the playoffs this year based on their current standings. That said, as a basketball player, I’m a big fan of Angel Reese. The average person doesn’t appreciate her overall value when factoring in rebounds and everything else that she […]

No. Based on my research, Steph Curry is 6’0 when not in shoes. The way I worked this out was by listening to Kevin Durant say that he is 6’9 when some journalists quizzed him on whether he was 6’11 or 6’9. Durant is adamant that he is 6’9 and […]

When Shaquille O’Neal says Kobe Bryant is the best player he has played with, he is putting him ahead of Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, Alonzo Mourning, and Penny Hardaway. It could be that he thinks Kobe is the overall best player out of all of those names, but […]

In my opinion, Chris Paul has the highest basketball IQ. I would argue that great point guards have the highest basketball IQs in general because part of their job is to arrange every player on the court which needs a deep understanding of the game. However, it wouldn’t be fair […]

It’s unlikely that Bronny James will not last in the NBA longer than the date his father Lebron James retires. There are two obvious reasons for this regardless of how good Bronny is as a player: (1) his rookie contract will probably go for longer than Lebron will remain in […]

Michael Jordan started his career wearing number 23. Since he is the most popular basketball player of all time, it’s the reason so many basketball players like the number 23. That said, when I played basketball, the number I wanted to avoid the most was the number 23 because I […]

It’s always risky drafting a frontcourt player high up in the draft because generally, they’re less skilled than a backcourt player. The least skilled position arguably is the center position because often they rely on strength and outwitting their opponents over pure skill with the basketball. When the Orlando Magic […]

To become a very good shooter, Stephen Curry started shooting shots close to the basket and then once he got good at those shots, he stepped further back and started taking shots from further back until he was good at those shots. Curry has said that he doesn’t like it […]

I think Dan Hurley made the right decision to stay at UConn. He has been a very good coach for the UConn Huskies men’s basketball team so far and even though his new Salary at Uconn isn’t as much as he would have made playing for the Lakers, it’s still […]

It is unlikely Lebron James can go down as the best Laker of all time because he spent so much of his career playing for other teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat. When the average analyst judges who the best players are, they look at how many […]

Alonzo Mourning, the former NBA player known for his dominant play as a center, played college basketball for the Georgetown Hoyas from 1988 to 1992 under coach John Thompson. Here are his notable college stats: Points per game: Mourning averaged 16.7 points per game over his collegiate career. Rebounds per […]
