Re: Players with the longest arms
Everytime I see his exposed shin I just think how has he never broken his leg? It's a long arse toothpick for goodness sake.

Re: Players with the longest arms
I wonder how long this guy's armspan is? Hahhahaha he could probably dunk standing flatfooted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8k-E...eature=related
Too bad he doesn't play basketball though.

Re: Players with the longest arms
Maybe it's been mentioned already, but George Hill (the Spurs recent first round pick) has crazy long arms.
He's 6 foot 2 inches, with a 6'9 wingspan...
In his short career with the Spurs, his career highs are 23 points, 8 assists, 11 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, 2 3PTM.
He's a unique player, but his game is comparable to Monta Ellis and Rajon Rondo, IMO. Long, athletic, and can get to the basket well.

Re: Players with the longest arms
If you could grab the rim flatfooted at 'only' 7,5" then I would congratulate you for having crazy long arms.

Re: Players with the longest arms
When I think of crazy long arms and standing reach, Jaber Rouzbahani because wherein at 'only' 7,5" he can grab the rim flatfooted because his armspan is 8 feet! 7,5" Yao, by comparsion, is several inches shy of the rim flatfooted and has to go on his tippy toes just to touch the rim because his armspan is only 7,5". This 7,4" guy Shagari Alleyne can also touch the rim flatfooted (his armspan is also 8 feet!).

Tayshaun Prince's is far from the longest even though he has very long arms proportionally speaking. Kenny George has the longest arm span I've heard at a whopping 8,5!

Andrew Bynum has really long arms. Rajon Rondo has long arms for his height.

Didn't think Oliver Miller would've slipped through the cracks. A 6'9 dude with a 7'6 wingspan. The exact dimensions of Kevin Durant.... well maybe 2 Kevin Durants...

Damn that's a long wingspan! 9 inches more than his own height. He must almost be able to touch his knees standing up lol!
