The worst shot in basketball is a long two pointer.

When you compare rookies please compare ages also. A 20 yo rookie is different than a 23 yo rookie.

Good shooting is contagious and I believe that. It will open lanes to increase the 2pt fg percentage and create the defense to over help and leave more open 3 pt fga.

Agreed. The shooting we added will help, as well as our young guys naturally improving.

Should've said you were 6 foot just to see what people would say.

BadMofoPimp · Post #669 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Sun Jul 12, 2015 9:40 pm

If he is 5'6", then Gordon has to be a 7 footer by now.

Yeah..if you're 5'6 I think the top of my head would probably just reach above his shoulders.... Yeah, sure AG isn't 6'11 right now?

Hmmm, is that a new resort? I guess the Chandelier lounge is inside this resort.

Using the magic of Photoshop (pun intended), from the bottom of the photo you are 30.194 inches. Aaron is 38.306 inches. I measured from the bottom of the picture to your hairlines. If 30.194 inches = 5'6, 38.306 = 6'11.75".

Now this doesn't take into account differing shoes and the fact that Arsenal may be leaning slightly (or the fact that i'm doing this in effing photoshop). Aaron's shoes look like they could have quite some height in them, while I cannot tell what kind Arsenal is wearing. But even if Gordon's shoes give him an extra inch, he's still up near 6'11 possibly, lol. edit: and that's without shoes, assuming Arsenal's height is without.

He's still 6'9". Unless Hezonja is really 6'11"... which he isn't.

It's likely that Aaron is leaning forward a bit. Would make him look taller and make his head look bigger lol.

Also, arsenal I hope you didn't walk up to him in the middle of a phone call. :lol:

Arsenal was lucky AG wasn't hungry!

Aaron Gordon should be in Orlando working on his jumpshot.
