The transfer portal is a bigger problem than NIL

True. I bet almost all players enter the portal in 2025 for the NIL cash grab.

More upside than risk, but technically, you risk your current spot on a team by

What is the difference in your height versus wingspan?

Archaea

Araujo: 6'11" height, 6'1" wingspan

TNT

10:45am

Ute board texts TNT and ups NIL deal to $15 bucks.

Brisco

10:52am

That won't pay for this

TNT

10:53am

You've got social security for that.

Maybe we should have called him Araujo rex

I didn't know so I just measured it ... my height equals my wingspan. Good thing I never planned on an NBA career. 😉

ManicBlue

Cmon. Be honest. You are like a T-Rex. Like Araujo

TNT

10:51am

Well, let's just say that I'd be happy with the T-Rex sized arms you gave Araujo. hahahaha

ManicBlue

10:54am

Isn't that typically a normally porportioned person? Anything much more is unusual.

Soupie

10:55am

In the NBA you have to have length. Why a lot of guys could never make it

TNT

10:57am

Sure for an NBA player. Just normal, man on the street, it's normal for wing span to be equal or similar to height.

Soupie

10:59am

Right

TNT

11:02am

6'2'' my wingspan is 6'4''. Nothing crazy.

Adwight

10:53am

This is known as the “Ape Index”. Average NBA player is 1.063 or 6.3% longer

Interesting:

JR has a 1.081 index.

Archaea

11:01am

5'10" height 6'0" wingspan, pretty standard for a dude I think

Dr T-bone

For me they are the same. In Jr High BB I was 3rd tallest yet had the third shortest reach.

So, what brought this on? Did the Ute board offer you $10?

Well NIL is such a big deal now. It's time TNT got paid for his horrible posts
