It could be argued that the tall Chinese are archaic genetic relics of the long gone days when the men had to hunt dinosaurs with spears.

Bill Russell is in his 70’s, Kareem mid 60’s, Walton in his 60’s.

Well that’s 3, but the fact remains that you seldom see a really tall 80 year old, or even 70.

We are hell when we are well!!

Oh my God I hope we live longer than that. I’m 6’-8”, my dad is 6’-10’ (age 60), and I have cousins that are all 6-4’-6’-6”. We come from a long line of six and a half to seven foot swedes going back a few hundred years.

I hope you do too. I was just making the point of the lack of very tall old folks.

I wish you and your family good health and long life.

I’m not saying you’re wrong though! Kinda scary.

was on a flight from Hartford to Philly once and Manute Bol was on (7’7””) the plane. He looked so uncomfortable, even sitting in First.

Believe it or not, his first car was a Honda Civic. Of course, it was modified a bit. The front seat was removed and he drove from the back seat.

I remember reading that in the paper many moons ago.

That’s beautiful - I’m LOLing out loud!
