The sad truth is if you are much taller than both your parents it is often because they were malnourished in childhood.

No wonder he's got strong healthy bones!!!

"the milk man is shorter than me and the paperboy is 8" - a friend(5'3")s response after my drunk uncle said his kid would be tall.
teabone413
biggest ahole tho
NdotGreeze
Sometimes you do just hit the genetic lottery. Get all of moms and dads genes that positively impact height. And you can be TALL
Derpburger666
Oh no

Sad fact - his father was murdered by two guys while stealing his car

ask him if he had anything to do with his father's untimely demise.... get back to me.

Wait what?

Gambling debts. Wouldn't pay, mob killed his dad. NBA made him step away. Why he went and played baseball for a few years.
Lickycat
Right. I knew most of that. Just not the mob killing his dad. Thanks.

I'm enjoying the new ESPN doc on MJ so far. Two episodes are on Netflix for anyone interested.
Yumstar82
And 6 more leaked online but with annoying espn and Mandalay entertainment watermarks... I am without a doubt, the worst pirate ever!

But now I can say "I've heard of you".

I'm a foot bigger than both of my parents. That's life. I hope.
ImNotAnOrange
I had a friend with 2 brothers, all 3 were around 6'6", both parents were barely over 5', genetics is potential, nutrition is important

Tinyfish3
The genetics of human height is very complex and we don’t even understand it all yet. Jokes aside, paternal height is not that important.
level5detentionblockAA23
I'm 7 inches taller than my dad, but his pictures when he was my age look exactly the same as I do
PimpinKen
I was told I'll never get taller than 5'6".... I'm now over 6 feet tall

RiotousSinner
I look exactly like my dad, but I'm a good foot taller than both him and my mom. Don't worry, it's life.
dandanthedrywallman
My dad is 5'10 and my mom is 5'3. I'm 5'1 and I'm the tallest of my three sisters by at least 2 inches.
TheActualMalloryArcher
I'm 7 inches taller than the next tallest person in my entire extended family. Im 5'6" tall. It could have been worse though
optimisticredshirt
I don't mean to make offense.. but are you from a family of "little people" or "dwarves"? Honestly, IDK the right term-Whats the right term?
TheActualMalloryArcher
Lol no. Asians
optimisticredshirt
That's what I said. Lol, jk.
thehamdammer
Every person in your family is under 5'? Damn yall short

Buddy from work is 6'11", barely doesn't have to duck under doors. Said his dad is 6'2" and his mom is 6'0".
ganglGiraffeSmasher
Most doors are 6'8"
ghesled3
So they are says google. Maybe the ones at work at 7'. Thise are the only doors I see him pass through.
Aaronb1138
Nutrition and probably some of the hormones in modern food. My brothers and I are all 3-5" taller than dad, and he's 6'0". Mom is 5'5"
Aaronb1138
Thanks milk lobby!
ScienceRad
Yes, that's normal. Eye color, height, and hair color are polygenetic traits (can essentially be anything). The probabilities are just lower
SkynetWithAPoopKnife
I feel like this comment and all the responses to it are just people realizing their "dad" isn't their biological dad LOL
OtterlyMagnificent
I've got 6" on my dad, my brother's got 2" on me. It sucks being so tall sometimes.
rocklemycockle
I hear you man. Everyone thinks it must be so great
rocklemycockle
....I've got back and knew problems. I'm 24
OtterlyMagnificent
28. My back problems are due to a work injury, but I'm also really light for being so tall, so I might have an advantage in the knees 1/

Kobe was better. Change my mind.
FentuckyCriedKhicken
his not even close. change my brain
daromander
Kobe's best season ('02-'03) was his 30-7-6 with 2.2 steals on 45% FG. MJ's ('88-'89) was 32.5-8-8 with 2.9 steals on 54% FG
daromander
MJ lead the league in scoring 10 times. Kobe twice. MJ lead in PER, Win Shares, & VORP at least 7 times each. Kobe never lead in any

My parents live next to someone who still gets milk delivered, to this day. Well, maybe not during the pandemic, but this year at least.
striporama
I’m 27 and remember my grandparents getting milk delivered behind the door when I was little. Everyone on our street did

Isn't he like 6'4"?
TheBlackKeep
He was listed as 6'6" by the nba, but they probably skew height a bit who knows

enzio64
They were jawing at each other all game, so Jordan makes the free throw with his eyes closed.
AgainstMethod
He's showing off by closing his eyes as he throws, showing off specifically for the best player on the opposing team.
TimmyNG
And a player who struggled with foul shots.
damangus
They say LeBron is the greatest BB player of all time. Apparently the people saying that don't know who MJ is!

You ever see something so disrespectful but so baller at the same time?
gmoney1504
Disrespect to get respect.

Pauly79
Those were great playoffs. Sizers versus raptors that year was epic too.
WillieDustice
That’s definitely what he’s known for
GloveFullaVaseline
Hmm... He would leap from the top of the key and dunk it. He was known for air... Air of all variations, I think. He defied.
Kilsta
Like when he would tell you how many he was about to drop on you then did it.
Kilsta
Like straight out Telling Malone if he came back and got a Ship it wouldn't matter cause it wasn't against him.

Ronnie O'Sullivan got rebuked for playing a left handed shot. His opponent (Alain Robidoux) complained and he went Infront of the governing
HereDueToYourOnePeskyDownVote
Body, he played former world semi finalist Rex Williams over three frames with his weaker left hand and won all three. He has 15 maximum
HereDueToYourOnePeskyDownVote
Breaks and famously asked "how much prize money for a maximum" got told the amount, he thought it was paltry and took the pink instead

His brother in the Army (my former Command Sergeant Major) was also rather short.
aap71
5 8... normal height but a lot shorter than his brother
sevensided
I suppose that was notmal, but I'm 6 even, so it was weird to physically look down on him while I metaphorically looked up.
WillieDustice
Your command sergeant major was MJs brother??
Vanqu7sh
Yes I also wish to know more...
sevensided
Retired command sergeant major James Jordan Jr. Don't ever ask him about his brother.
MaddogExplosive
Is he tired of hearing about him, or does he outright dislike his brother?
sevensided
Never had a convo about it, but scuttlebutt was he hated his bro.
lancruiser79
Not even close to being true. I know James, he now works for the Charlotte basketball team that Michael owns.
