Hartley Unit Controversy Brewing

[RockyMTblue2]

So Darko Muhl has a new pix of his eldest up on Twitter and something hit me right away:

FIBA and recruiting articles have her at 5'10". What to do? I don't think Bria and Nika have ever been in the same room, let alone the same photo.

What to do? What to do?

PS. Yes, contra not contro, but I've never learned how to correct a thread title.

It's said Geno is (or once was 5'10" ... hhhmmmm

But the reality is: He has been 5'8" since his 18th birthday. Which only proves --NOTHING. (I like the "once was" it applies to all of us)

Geno has his 1970's style platform shoes on in the picture. We just cant see them.

Uhm.. Those look too much like real leather though, which most of us couldn't afford. "Pleather" was the real deal. And definitely black not brown so they could go with everything.

Contrary to your original belief, there is no controversy over your spelling acumen. There should be a word for that feeling you get when you think you are wrong, but turn out to be right. It is both embarrassing and uplifting at once. Leave it to our pal Rocky to do something for which there is no word.

What scares me is that I'm afraid that the shoe photos are from a personal and current collection.

Please define "current" for me.

You simply cannot use US units to measure European players. The conversion factors are too volatile.

Exactly. Should be using Abrosimova or Abrlic units.

They just need to quit using height as the exclusive relevant measurement in basketball. Measure the reach, which basically starts at the shoulder height not the top of the head. Then you can also add the jumping reach. The height of the top of your head is not relevant.

I suppose the meter is tied to the Euro now.
