Wade 'Swede' Halbrook is 7 foot 3, Russell is only 6-9 and 5/8ths :wtf:

Russell's arm is clearly more straight than Halbrooks...

I could say that Russell has an arm of 7-3 man. :)

Picture shows nothing.... why not have them reach as high as possible, side by side? Silly.

From that pic it looks like Halbrook could raise the ball out of Russell's reach. Still very impressive.

Because obviously Russell wouldn't be able to reach higher...

Who cares bro, there are 2 guards that can match Blake Griffins standing reach, and he's only HALF white

First off, if Russell is 6'10(as claimed, then Halbrook is not 7'3. He's 7' 1/2, 7'2 max. Secondly, the ball is clearly closer to Russell giving him the ability to stretch his arm almost entirely vertical. Halbrook on the otherhand has to reach his arm 4-5" horizontally to reach where Russell is holding it. This isn't even impressive.

Hell Durant's standing reach at the combine was 9'2" and that was higher than 7'2.5" Frans Steyrn, who was at 9'1".
