The Get To Know You Thread

[AMenace]

I'm 6"4 and have only just turned 16 a month ago.

[Modifly]

F you then. F you.

[Christian.]

Share your growth hormones!

[Stress Fracture]

I agree with christian!

[dopeboy]

What's wrong with you all? 6,3' isn't that much as you think.

[Christian.]

For us Asians, having a height of over 6' at a young age is a "wow".

[Modifly]

The average height for Thai male is around 175 CM. That's not even 6 feet. For us Asians, if we see a kid that is around 16 years of age and is already 6'4 in height, that kid is a freak. Without any second thought too. We rarely see people aobe 190 CM here in Thai, not to even mention you being 6'4 at 16.

[dopeboy]

It still doesn't seem much. For example, I had to play against some 16 year old guy who was 6,7' and 250 lbs (that was 2 years ago, now he's a pro or something like that). That's a bit unreal.

[Modifly]

Well he's a natural freak, so that's an exception. 6'4 is still exceptionally tall for a 16 years old no matter where on earth.

[Christian.]

One good thing about us Asians is that eventhough we are not as tall as Western guys, we kick arse hard.

[Modifly]

Yes. This is what I am according to shadowgrin.

You're like an evil badass mixture of both. You look like Lee but you kick ass like Jaa. I'm also thinking that you have the same physique as that of Austin Daye. Evil I tell you.

[AMenace]

Sorry, I can't share my growth hormones, because I don't use any.

Still, I would like to be taller, because I have only grown 2 inches in the past year. I have been told I am still to grow a fair bit.

My height isn't good at times because I keep having to get longer shafts put in my golf clubs, and for someone who is off single figures, the cost of expensive $250 shafts in each one of my clubs adds up to a fair bit. I pay nearly $7000 for my golf game each year. All because of my height.

Surprisingly, I am not that good at basketball, because I only weigh 60 kilograms, and can't post up or play back in defense very well because of my weight. But I am a good 3pt shot though.

So being that tall does have its disadvantages though.

Reggie Miller. Work on it.

[Martti.]

Zaza Pachulia was 203 cm tall when he was 13, so me being 193 cm at 16 isn't that big of a deal

[Modifly]

Wasn't that some sort of abnormality? Also, his height stopped at 203 cm if I recall correctly. He never grew any taller after 16.

[Martti.]

Don't know all the details. Just know that he was 203 at 13.. He's 211 now. (6'11)

[Modifly]

My bad. So he grew 8 cm after that. I need to get my facts right next time.

I can picture you out as a very big guy with a huge stomach

[shadowgrin]

Unless he's built like an NFL player.

If you think my stomach is big now, you should have seen me when I was 6'4" and 280 pounds.

I am built like a football player. I am just a big guy...but I could stand to lose a few pounds yet.
