If my wife wasn't getting upset at the kids that comment would have inspired some photoshop work...picture hands appearing in the rear ends of the guys at the ends of the back row

Sky Force Team Photo taken in March.

On Amir's left is Eddie Fobbs, listed at 6'11".

On Amir's right is Damon Brown, listed at 6'9".

Looks like Amir is right between them height-wise...6'10"...
I blew up the size of the picture and improved the contrast. It appears AJ is very close to Brown, though a little taller (1/2" at the most) and not in the middle height wise between Fobbs and Brown.

Did the same thing, funny thing is Antywane Robinson, #34, on the far right is listed at 6'8"; while Antonio Meeking, #22, on the far left is listed at 6'7". But the picture shows Antonio being a couple of inches taller.

Re: The Amir Johnson height CONSPIRACY?

Look at how tall Amir's shoulders are though. That is more important than overall height. Same with Maxiell. They guys have no necks. Necks are a waste of height.

Standing reach is the best measure.

What about slow dancing or relaxing with your significant other on the couch watching the Pistons win?

Re: The Amir Johnson height CONSPIRACY?

In soccer, it is not a waste of height.

Football- dangerous.
Golf- worthless.
Hockey- beneficial (harder for them to pull your sweater over your head).
