Wow. Thats incredible. I didn't know about this.

:wtf:

Nice did not kno, repped

I remember when I was 15, I was desperately hoping for something like that to happen to me, since something similar happened to Dennis Rodman. Of course, I ended up breaking my leg, and and after the operation, my broken leg came out slightly shorter than the good one. I was 19, and then I stopped playing basketball for like 7 years, because of the leg.

[DuMa]

that explains his freakish skinny waist for his height

he must had pants that kept falling down cuz he had no waist to hold them.

:wtf:

Didn't Rodman supposedly grow from like 5'8, to 6'9 from 18-20 years old?

[Pointguard]

I always thought his handle would be better because of his once being a pointguard - I didn't know the spurt was like that, tho. He doesn't have much of a pointguard mentality in any way.

[theaussieguy]

lol i don't believe he grew that much in a year, he was probably 6'1" knowing dwight though, just wants to add to his superman image

Yea. I believe Hakeems because he had the moves/handle at the C. Rodman also showed some flashes of perimeter play.

I have a feeling Dwight has relied heavy on his athletiscm throughout his entire life, maybe im going out on a limb though:confusedshrug:

I agree with you. It showed in his game he was very unpolished he's starting to get a lot better though. Now he just needs to learn how to pass out of the post, specifically double teams and he will be UNSTOPPABLE

[The_Yearning]

Why he lying? If not, he must have sucked as a PG.

:lol

5-8 to 6-3 to 6-9 in one year? why not say from 5-8 to 6-9 in one year?

:lol

5-8 to 6-3 to 6-9 in one year? why not say from 5-8 to 6-9 in one year?Presumably because it happened in short spurts. Grows 5-8 to 6-3 over the course of a month or so, stays about the same for a few months, and then grows to 6-9 by the end of the year.

wow, in one year?!?!

[thomaspynchon]

If Dwight Howard were 6'3'' and not 6'10'' he wouldn't even make a college team

[tommyhtc]

I personally think Howard is still 6'10 ish,
but it's still some amazing stuff,
I wish I had a growth spurt like that lol
