    Don't the majority of posters here fall into the -2 category?

    5 feet tall, 6 second 40

    The elite ones are -1@6 feet and 5 second 40?

    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.
    I know bill very well and can assure you he doesn’t have one foot in the grave

    I see him at least once or twice a month, he’s doing fine. Walks slow as hell but doing fine

    Well that's good. I like Bill. One foot in the grave is somewhat extreme. I just meant when he hugged Kevin Garnett when the Celts won in 2008, he had a lot more spring to his step. At the Basketball Hall of Fame this past year, he looked like he was laboring. I hope he lives to a 100+. Great player and fantastic leader where civil rights are concerned

    In the jungle I would like to be tall to pick all the ripe bananas. Fast if I ran track.

Hope you both get hit by a bus and stop draining us of our tax dollars yon piece of shit.

    I'm going in to work now, you know those things called jobs! You losers get paid off my back, pathetic. No what I do bitch? Demolition. You think that big and powerful too? You right it is, builds lots more muscle than sitting your fat ass on couch taking care of some deformed retard child!! So anytime you wanna see this 6'1 250 lb built like a brick shithouse, bad mfer that breaks shit for a living all day you go ahead and give me a call welfare boy. I'll wait for whatever bitch little reply you make while doing nothing all day, all those just the facts fat boy.
    MODERATORS: Is this post that was made allowed???? Shouldn't poster "2dabank" be warned for threatening me physically along with statements made about my autistic son. That's a criminal offense. (the threat) I'm intelligent enough to know that this is the internet and a gambling forum, therefore rules get stretched a bit because this is a place to let loose. I DON'T THINK THAT HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO THREATEN ME PHYSICALLY. Any post that I made first was a reaction to him trolling me and insulting my child. From previous posts, he's stated that he doesn't like me. That doesn't bother me at all. Even his trolling doesn't bother me. However, he shouldn't be allowed to take it beyond this forum. Look at his comments. They are EXTREME!!! He's making false claims about me and that doesn't bother me. It's the THREAT that I have an issue with and you should also. I will have a reply for him once you respond. Thank you!

    7'? no thanks. Having an 8 inch dick would feel like a pencil in the gloves that would come with that height.

    he put up with a ton of prejudice in Boston but red auerbach always treated him with great respect as did his teammates. Russell was the ultimate winner. He seems like a great guy.

    Not even 2 weeks from my comments and Bill russell is rushed to the hospital with heart issue. I hope he's okay.
