Ya, but it helps your bench. :)

I think I'm 6'4" and my wingspan is slightly above that.

I thought your wingspan was supposed to be about equal to your height.. I know it varies some but I would say +/- 6 inches is about normal.

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone with a wingspan less than their height..

Not really. Pantlegz is right. "Wing span" is only approximately one's height. The distribution of +/- goes both ways.

you sir, are a rectangle. you are not a square, hence i'm not allowed to play with you.

all joking aside, who the hell cares. can you run fast and catch the ball in traffic knowing you're gonna get licked? can you shoot with a hand in your face and play tough D? If you can then noone fucking cares. just go out and play ball. have fun and play for fun and don't worry about stats as only the top 1% make it to the pros anyway. you just show heart on the field and let your play speak for itself.

I just got done working out and I about died laughing when I read this. I'm betting it's the oxygen deprivation at work.

You, like 99% of the population, will probably not ever play professional basketball or football. Instead of bemoaning your genetics or blaming it on your ethnicity, work against it. Find inspiration from something, go watch Rudy.

I spent all of high school being told that I was too small and short to be a good goalie in water polo. I worked my ass off and made All American my senior year.
