    Run fast. Being fast is cool, being 7 foot is just awkward.

        Tall to be in the NBA. I’d like my chances of making it better than being fast. Don’t wanna live long anyway.

          I would be seen as a freak if I was 7 ft tall. I'd rather have explosive speed.

            I’d probably just use the speed to run from the cops anyway.

              If I could be any pro athlete in the world, it'd be a golfer. I would never want to be 7 feet tall. I'm a laidback person and wouldn't like standing out. 4.3 40 I mean who cares? I'd rather be a highly paid golfer than Usain Bolt.

                Nobody runs the 40 in 4.0 seconds so doing that would be pretty cool. 7 footers are a dime a dozen.

                      4.0 not 4.3

                      BIG difference

                          I figured it would need to be ridiculously fast because speed is nowhere near a guarantee to be paid as an athlete (I guess maybe you could get shoe endorsements deals), but being 7 ft tall or more a statistician once determined you would have a 17% chance of playing in the NBA and probably a greater than 50% of playing somewhere professionally plus chicks would want to get with ur giant junk

                            Yeah speed fades but being able to dunk with a trunk in the junk lasts forever.

                            I'll take the 7 feet

                              A 4.0 40 puts you in either the NFL or MLB (assuming you can bunt or get a hit here and there)

                              That speed is worth just as much $$$ as the height is in NBA and you don't look weird.

                              I played against Joel Pryzbela in high school (he went to Montecellio here in MN)... guy was just weird...gets off bus and all long and gangly.

                              Made great $$ in NBA- didn't do anything but be 7 feet tall...but now what?

                              At least fast rich old guys still get to be normal later in life...

                                I'd go with the speed, those guys are always in phenomenal shape and if you're clocking a 4.0 40, you've got good genes.

                                7' is a better chance to be a pro-athlete but if you didn't make, you're always gonna be uncomfortable in cars, planes, hotels etc...

                                I've got buddy that is 6'11", played college ball at a Christian school in Oklahoma but he was never was confident or comfortable in his skin. Married a hottie though

                                    How tall would I be if I chose to run that fast? Current height I am now or Peter Dinklage height?

                                        Same height as now

                                        im really surprised that out of 6 billion people in the world one hasn’t had a mutation allowing them to run a 4.0 40

                                          40 in 4 seconds then.

                                                    I'll take the speed. If you have speed you're probably pretty athletic. When I was in high school there was a kid who was 7 foot tall as a sophomore. Kid didn't have an athletic bone in his body. Not the lanky kind, but the kid was a brick house, built like Andre the Giant. Basketball coaches talked him into playing, but he was just so slow he never saw the floor. Kid was 7 foot tall and couldn't even dunk. But yes, gimme the speed in a heartbeat.

When I was in high school there was a kid who was 7 foot tall as a sophomore. Kid didn't have an athletic bone in his body. Not the lanky kind, but the kid was a brick house, built like Andre the Giant. Basketball coaches talked him into playing, but he was just so slow he never saw the floor. Kid was 7 foot tall and couldn't even dunk. But yes, gimme the speed in a heartbeat.

                                                              BIG difference
                                                              But nobody's ran a 4.0 40. So you're basically asking whether you'd want to be the fastest man on earth, or 7'0 tall. I really don't think either of those traits have long term value.

                                                                Very easy question to answer:

                                                                Very tall people (7 foot and above and even a bit shorter), don't live long lives (Something regarding oxygen intake). How many 7 footers live 80+ years? Don't say Bill russell. He's 6 foot 9 and has one foot in the grave.

                                                                Larry Bird has stated that he know's that he's tall and thinks he won't have a long life. Moses Malone, Daryl Dawkins, Wilt, Jerome Kersey....I can go on and on. Not to mention that furniture and cars.etc. aren't made for 7 footers. I would rather have olympic-like speed and make money off of that attribute.
