      I think he should post up more cuz he’s proven he’s can shoot or his coaches can’t teach him but he has a good fg% from the post. Just under embiid and jokic but they post up way more than him. He could be like Tim Duncan and just shoot the long two when he can’t get in the post

    So if Giannis is 6'11 and has 7'3 Wingspan that means his wingspan is below or at best average compared to rest of the NBA. Have you ever seen Giannis's arms???? This dude's Wingspan has to be closer to 7'6 - 7'7 range. I think that 7'3 wingspan came from when he was measured in Europe when he was only 6'8. What kind of science is this where you don't even have the basic measurements right.

    • @mattnorris7124
      @mattnorris7124 6 років тому +1

      At the time, it probably was quite accurate especially when you fact in the fact that diets were much worse and health in general was a lot worse. Nowadays I would still say it's a lot closer to being true than studies on athletes will show. We did a case study on it in high school (please bare in mind we only did the major measurements, e.g. wingspan, shoulder width, hand span and length of legs = half total height) and something like 55% of the total measurements matched Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man's proportions (or were within 2cms). Something like 20% of the total measurements recorded were shorter and 25% were longer. Strangely enough, the vast majority of the measurements that registered as being longer than Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man's were from students that were extremely active and/or played multiple sports. Obviously the sample size compared to the total human population is small but for it to only differ by that little I think gives his theory a lot more credibility than I think a lot of people give it.
