If Phil Nolan grew to 6-10 does that mean his 6-11 with shoes or was he 6-8 and grew to 6-9 and is 6-10 with shoes?

What if he was wearing a hat?

Depends on the hat. He's 7-5 with a sombrero or tophat.

I think he should wear a sombrero when he plays. The brim could deflect some last-second wraparound passes.

Hats and shoes can have differing impacts on heights. For hats, while it might help a Charlie V, it would make Dr J look shorter. As for shoes, if you are wearing them as most people do, they can add and inch or so, but if you're holding them in your hand, the difference is negligible. Of course, if you wear them like a hat, you could gain close to half a foot.

I understand, this is heavy stuff and can be very confusing.

On the flip side, if you wear hats like shoes, you'll lose some lateral mobility.

But if he wore a snowmobile suit, he'd take up more room in the paint. Like bulking up, but without having to lug around all that weight.

I'd love to know what kind of shoes basketball players wear that always add an inch+ to their height. How come my Jordans don't do that?

Wonder how much flip flops would affect his height and rebounding?

He could go for the 80s effect and hop around the court on a Pogo Ball
