My husband’s 7’2” cousin once had a T-shirt made that said, “I LIKE short people. I had two for lunch.”

I think another one said, “Yes, I play basketball.”

I knew a 7’6” guy with a “Yes, I play basketball” T-Shirt, although he wasn’t that good.

While living in Albania, I was much taller and bigger than the average male there (5’11”, 180lbs). They would always ask, “Do you play basketball?”, to which I would reply, “yes”. They would then say, “Oh, that’s why you’re so tall!”

To them you grew tall because you played basketball, not that you played basketball because you were tall. Of course, in high school I was the third shortest player on varsity.
