This is the big problem with NIL - fans think they can say stuff like this because the players are now paid commodities

Reducing the opportunities to transfer would dampen NIL immediately

Why can't he be doing it for himself? Would you give a bunch of money to all your siblings?

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

If you can't find a landing spot, and your current team won't take you back

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.

JR has a 1.081 index.

Archaea

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

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