I've basically been the same height since about 14-15 years old, which is 6'0 feet without shoes. I never even thought of checking to see what my wingspan was, though. I finally did it with a friend of mine when I was around 25. Come to find out, my wingspan is 5 inches shorter than my height! I always figured I was just the worst jumper ever because I couldn't touch the rim. I had ball handling skills and shooting skills, but no jumping skills. Turns out, I just have really short arms. My friend can dunk because he has a 6'5 wingspan, but i'm a much better player and can beat him easily. Maybe my vertical isn't really that bad.

My wingspan, short arms, small member, and acne scarred face all make me VERY beta.

How tall are you and what is your wingspan?

Pisses me off. I was a track and field athlete, a great jumper and natural athlete with good body control and balance, but don't have good length up top. My head goes above everyone elses, but not my arms, both of my rec teams 5-10 players have longer arms than me, I think their armspans are 6-1 and 6-2 and their standing reach is several inches higher too :oldlol:

I just measured my wingspan...I believe I did it accurately. Strange though, I always thought I had a bigger wingspan because of how I play defense in basketball, stretch my arms wide out an pick that ball. Can't believe my Height > Wingspan :oldlol:

look on the bright side. it's probably better to be 6 feet tall with a 5'7" wingspan than be 5'7" tall with a 5'7" wingspan. according to your arms, you weren't supposed to be 6 feet.

About the same measurments as Isiah Thomas on the Celtics. 5'8, close to being 5'9, with a 6'1 wingspan. Bounce between 180 and 190.

I'll post a pic with my arms spread soon, I think its mostly due to my broad shoulders rather than freaky long arms. Though it's a combo

Open your hand as wide as possible, than take a ruler and measure the distance of thumb to pinky.

About 7.5 wrist to finger tip (really short, I don't have big hands)

And about 8 and 3/4 thumb to pinky.

People with hands a lot bigger than mine can't grab the ball with one hand and hang on to it like I can, I have no clue why.

I can for maybe a moment, but definitely not like you. Strange...Maybe you have thicker fingers? Or maybe a stronger grip?

Anyways, would you be able to scale our pics together or would I have to take it at a different angle?

It's all relative of course, but true. I'm a rec league player, we're all fans of professional basketball players, NCAA players etc. The best players on the planet. By that standard, I'm ****ing terrible. If any ISHers played any college ball whatsoever, and/or had a lot of size/talent/trained skillsets from a good HS program I'm also probably not good compared to them. In my rec league I'm servicable off defense and effort though. I'm happy just to be able to play.
