:oldlol: Mitch is taller than Dwight

[WeGetRing2012]

Dwight is soooooooooooo happy. :rockon: :rockon:

[lakers_forever]

:oldlol: Mitch is taller than Dwight

Yep. And he was listed as 6'9 as a player. Proof that past players were indeed measured withouth shoes. Bill Russell must have been at least Howard's height as well.

[Kobr]

Dwight is soooooooooooo happy. :rockon: :rockon:

So am I.

[Optimus Prime]

Dwight is soooooooooooo happy. :rockon: :rockon:

Yeah he is. He knows rings are incoming and he gets to play with one of the GOATs. :bowdown:

:kobe:

[Derka]

lol, this guy's not leaving LA. He's friggin' ecstatic.

[Rekindled]

Lebron looked the same height as Russell when they were standing next to each other. But he had basketball shoes on.

Laugh all you want, but your team has no shot now. Good luck with second place.

[Derka]

Durant's smile is gonna be even wider in 2015 :D :D

[Glide2keva]

Perry Jones > Dwight Howard, Nash, Pau, Kobe, Metta

:applause:

[Zedja]

Laugh all you want, but your team has no shot now. Good luck with second place.
OKC is still the WC team to beat. The Lakers haven't played a single game yet. They look good on paper yeah, but unless I've seen the Lakers play together, OKC is still the team to beat in the WC.

[KDTrey5]

Perry Jones > Dwight Howard, Nash, Pau, Kobe, Metta

:applause:
and all of our guys got better, we get better with age.

laker players? not so much
+ dwight coming off back surgery

[longtime lurker]

I hate the NBA right now.

:oldlol:

[Derka]

They're trying like heck to get him to talk about an extension and he's doing a pro job at blowing them off.

:rolleyes:

[niko]

Him and the Lakers are literally not allowed to agree to resign at year end. So why people keep asking is beyond me.

[KDTrey5]

they wont miss u dwight

[sagr32]

Sounds like being in LA in the offseason helped.

[ashlar]

This guy can't contain his smile. Makes you wonder if the lakers were on his radar all along. :oldlol:

[Zedja]

Dwight just wants to have funnnn maaaaan. :pimp:

[Zedja]

Pretty much lol.

:lol

[Glide2keva]

Mitch Kupchak = God GM: Trades for Nash and Howard and doesn't send Bynum to ORL or give up Pau to anyone.

Buss Family = God owners: 10 titles and counting.

[Zedja]

Mitch stfu you crazy son of a bitch. I love you so much :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[kobesabi]

It looks like Mitch has a messed up right pinky...it kinda bent outward

[DuMa]

no Jodie Meeks press conference? i'm out

[Optimus Prime]

Mitch on right now. Bow down. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

:kobe:

[sagr32]

Damn Mitch said the deal wasn't even on the Table until wednesday. Also said Hennigan was the one who called and proposed it.

Crazy how a deal can get done in 48 hours after a year of bullshit.

[Batz]

no Jodie Meeks press conference? i'm out
Dwight lives in LA. Meeks, Duhon, Clark confrence will be anywhere in the next three days.

[WeGetRing2012]

In before Dwight guarantees 9 rings

[Zedja]

LOL XBOX CLAN. Dwight just wants to have fun :pimp:

[KOBEtherealKing]

In before Dwight guarantees 9 rings
Dwight kept it classy unlike those 3 stooges down in cryami hot weather

[RRR3]

Dwight kept it classy unlike those 3 stooges down in cryami hot weather
Dwight is the epitome of class:rolleyes:

[kobesabi]

Good thing it's not 1hr special or not 5, not 6, not 7...

[kobesabi]

Did they kill off the feed or something? I'm not seeing anything anymore

[Optimus Prime]

Did they kill off the feed or something? I'm not seeing anything anymore

It keeps cutting in and out for me. But just seeing Dwight smile while holding that Lakers jersey is enough for me.

Can't wait to pass Boston for all time banners! :banana:

:kobe:

[KOBEtherealKing]

Dwight is the epitome of class:rolleyes:
Guy asked to be traded,.Orlando wouldn't budge. Dwight had to complain to the media, no one can blame the guy. anyways he's not the type of player to be cocky, he was a nightmare because Orlando wouldn't trade him. Now that he's traded he's always been a classy player.

1st look at @DwightHoward wearing the gold armor. What'd you guys think? #DH12LA

[DTreats]

Damn he has lost crazy amounts of weight due to the insane back therapy. His mass looks overall weak and his definition has suffered. Looks like a little black kid who's ripped just because he's black.

Bill Russell is taller than Dwight, Andre Iguadala actually went out of his way to say so after meeting Bill for the first time (commenting on how surprised he was at Bills size "He's taller than Dwight")

I have Bills complete measurements, I was lucky enough to find his barefoot height from a sports illustrated article from 1956. He was basically 6-10 (slightly under) and was listed 6-10 in the NCAA and Olympics and the media always referred too him as such but he hated the idea of being called 6-10 because he "felt like enough of a goon as it is" so he eventually went under the list height of 6-9 in the NBA.

Height w/o shoes:
Dwight 6-9
Bill 6-9.63 (6-9 and 5/8ths)

Wingspan:
Dwight 7-4.5
Bill 7-4

[Kobe 4 The Win]

During his playing days Mitch said he was 6'10 240 lbs.

[bagelred]

Let's be honest....has there ever been a more perfect marriage of superstar and city? Dwight with the big fake smile and L.A. where everything is about image. Much better fit for Dwight than Brooklyn.

[CavaliersFTW]

No, that's probably with shoes. He's 6'9"

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kupchmi01.html

GOOD

his weight was why his back got f*cked up. He was 280lbs on a 6-9 frame last season. Should be more like 260 if he wants any hope of a long career

The Magic screwed Dwight after he opted in. You can't expect him to stay after that.

No no lets take ISH's word for it based on pictures.
