I recall hearing a story of Kobe having an off night and staying after the game shooting around until they literally had to turn the lights off on him and tell him to gtfo

But Kobe is also an insane basketball man

quote:

Sports Illustrated�s Dan Diamond does a similar analysis and gets broadly similar results. But he adds several complicating factors. First, at this height people with very rare medical conditions and pituitary tumors start taking over from normal variation, so we lose our ability to derive a census a priori with pure math. Second of all, at this height talent scouts comb the world for suitably tall foreigners and import them, so we can no longer assume we�re drawing from the pool of tall Americans. And third of all, the same way you round up so that you�re 6�0 on OKCupid, NBA players round up so that they�re 7�0 on their official stats.

He concludes that most likely about 17% of seven-foot-tall young men in America are in the NBA. This might still be an overestimate, but is probably in the right ballpark. Forbes Magazine writes that Being Seven Feet Tall Is The Fastest Way To Get Rich In America and quotes a talent scout who says �that he�ll �check up on anyone over 7 feet that�s breathing.'� Given that a lot of people this height are unhealthy or uninterested, it might not be much of an exaggeration to say that if you�re 7�3 and have any interest in basketball, you�ve got better than even odds of going pro.

At parties Durant probably slouches over and says he's 5' 11'' because he doesn't want the rich white guys he's chilling with to feel short.
