You Only Have Two Options: Be 5’0 tall or Be 7’9 tall

[OnlyOneBoss]

5’0 is Lady Gaga status



I’m sorry brehs I couldn’t do it. 7’9” it is

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

7’9 don’t even translate on the court so you probably wouldn’t even get a real bag if you even made the league. 90% of devices or tools humans use are N/A for you, growing up the only shoes you could wear are those few size 22 shoes that only come in abstract colors like pink/lime green, and you’ll probably die of a heart attack at 40.

5’0 you just get clowned on every now and then

7'9" you gonna have real health problems and literally everything in life is more difficult.


5'0" is mostly just psychological, there are some disadvantages but outside of sports those disadvantages can be overcome by compensating in other ways.

thread is jokes. we need more like this.

this and that ugly/tall handsome/short thread is kinda dope bar conversation


more more more !

I said 7'9" but I just realized that shyt is too tall for even the NBA, and you'd get stares every time you go out. Plus the health complications that come with 7'9" will impact your life in a very severe way ( but then again, I'm sure quality of life will drop off for all of us in 30-40 years for various reasons ). Give me 5'0" I guess.

 

[King Frost]

the amount of tall brehs that came in dealing with bullshyt was unreal

knee problems? heart problems?

And that's just people in the public eye. There are tens of thousands more very short men who are successful businessmen, scientists, pastors, politicians, etc. My friends had a professor in college who was under 3 feet tall.

Easy answer...5 tall

All the health issues that you'll get at 7'9 is nothing I wanna deal with. And also I think a lot of you will be interestd in this. A Black Man who was a powerlifter named Lamar Gant was 5'2 (becuz of scoliosis). And he holds the deadlift record at 123 & 132 pounds

Deadlifting 638lbs at 123lbs

Deadlifting 688lbs at 132lbs

Truly incredible

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

7'9

 

[The_Sheff]

7’9 so many $ opportunities being that height

Other than being a side show there arent any opportunities at that height.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

ya'll picking 7'9 gonna go out like Don Cornelius

Anything over 6'2 is freak show status honestly I worked at a hospital for years
the amount of tall brehs that came in dealing with bullshyt was unreal

Good points.

I've read that your health is good up to 6'2" but every inch over that height increases the likelihood of having health problems.

At 5'8" the world fits me perfectly. Shoe size is 11 and I can find clothes, cars etc, with no problem. Don't need extra leg room on the airplane.

........but.......I couldn't imagine being 8" shorter than I am now.

7'9", with some coaching, I can at least play in the league a bit. Make enough money to pass on to the kids.

That's genuinely inspirational.

Most dudes that height only play sports because of their height. Now take someone that grew up in the game and love to play it. U get freaks like Bol Bol & Kristaps. So if I was bless with 7’9 height. I 100% know for certain Im getting at least one nba contract

 

[Cereal_Bowl_Assassin]

7"9 i may die early but I will try to use my height to my advantage somehow to make money. My kids will be tall no matter what and I can leave them with a good amount of money

Naw, you talking 7 inches taller than Bol Bol. It aint guaranteed you would be able to walk normally. People that tall usually have very difficult and short lives.
