i have a friend who's 7'1" and he leads with it. played in greece. he says he was terrible, just tall. but hell, if i played pro anywhere i'd lead with it too.

I'm 6'4" and when people ask if I play basketball I just tell them "Nah, I play video games". The people who are disgusted by this answer are people who I know to avoid.

I then also let them know that 6'4" is on the short side for a Basketball player.

To be fair, if you live in the US and are 7' or taller, there's a 17% chance you were employed by the NBA at some point.

If you lived anywhere in the world it only drops to 9%

So it's pretty decent odds that any random 7' or taller person has played basketball professionally.
