That sounds right to me; he is definately well over 7 feet tall in shoes.

Sounds about right, but longer arms, I think his standing reach was measured at 9'4", can't remember where I read that though |

Doesn't really matter how tall he is, the kid can scratch the bottom of his feet without bending over.
He can snatch a dime off the top of the backboard without jumping.

Yes! True!
All players are listed with shoes. Thus Bynum would be announced at 7-2.... Now he needs to gain 10 pounds of pure muscle this Summer,add that core strength and mix in the Shaq crushing game of old with a nice touch of finesse like Duncan....  |

That's pretty subjective though. From what I've seen, Bynum is about an inch taller than Chandler, and he definitely has a longer wingspan.
Not saying my view isn't subjective, either, of course. I'd bet if you stood them back to back in bare feet, Bynum would be slightly taller.

I believe that was when Chandler was coming out of H.S. He probably has grown some since then, the last I heard he was supposedly 7'1". I think Drew may be slightly taller though.

Bill Brasky did 3 tours in 'Nam...... I was in Corpus Christi on business a month ago. I had this eight foot tall Asian waiter, which made me curious. I asked him his name. Sure enough it's Ho Tran Brasky!!! |
