I've met and spoken with him. I was doing reporting for a summer internship at a radio station. It was just him, me and 2 or 3 other reporters from other countries. They asked him really weird questions and he basically blew them off, then they left and it was just me and him.
I bothered him about still having to pay money to ABA owners, but also asked him some softball questions. At the end, I said "Thanks," and he said "Thank YOU." I think he was just happy that I spoke English. It was cool, I have the whole thing on an Audio CD, including me talking to Joe Piscopo, Joumana Kidd and Dikembe Mutombo the same day.
Anyway, the point is, I'm 6'1", and I was surprised by how short he was. I think he's around 5'9".
If anyone wants to know, Joe Piscopo is about 5'11", Joumana seems 5'5" and Dikembe is gigantic. His shoes looked like leather canoes.
