This gives you a great idea how mind bogglingly skinny NBA players actually are. It's actually a very easy calculation to do.
If someone is 5'0" and 125 lbs and you grow them to 6'0", then they'll weight 216 lbs.
You cube both heights and divide one answer by the other answer. 216 divided by 125 equals 1.728 so a 5 foot person scaled to 6 feet will weight 1.728 times as much.

If someone is 5 feet and weighs 100 lbs and you scale them up to 6 feet, then they weight 172.8 lbs.
If you were to scale that 5 foot 100 lbs person to 7 feet, then they'll weigh 274.4 lbs.






This is what NORMAL people would look like if you scaled them up over 7 feet tall
7'1" 400 lbs Giant Silva, 7'1" 420 lbs Great Khali


7'3" 416 lbs Omos




7'1" 520 lbs Andre The Giant

BMI calculator shows he'd be closer to 187lbs

I think BMI is designed only with the normal height range in mind and it doesn't really work well with people who are dwarves or giants.

It's like trying to use horsepower to weight ratio calculator models designed for sports cars for locomotives or for tiny RC cars. it just doesn't work.

They have to be skinny, could you imagine Andre the giant doing dunks? He would blow out his knees in the first week.

They play like 3 games a week plus practice and it's hight impact on their joints

You seen Jordan jumping from the free throw line the landing is brutal. He can't be 280 pounds doing that

Lol bullshyt

You sound like the retards at ESPN who every year say "a 70 MPH fastball at the Little League World Series is the equivalent of a 95 MPH major league fastball"

Doesn't work that way

whoa sal got banned?
