Okay, rest your weary head, here is a picture of him next to a 6'8 guy.

Then again Martin was only 6'4.

He played for the New Jersey Nets, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks of the NBA, and the Xinjiang Flying Tigers of China. The 6'9" power forward played college basketball for Cincinnati before being drafted with the first overall pick in the 2000 NBA draft by the New Jersey Nets.

LMFAO!!!!!

I'm also thinking that Hernangomez has his legs spread and is squatting a bit to create a base. Nobody stands up straight defending a guy trying to back you down, and Willie is pushing back into Pau. You can see where each player's shoulder/hips alignments are. Willie is not standing up straight.

Not hard to look up his height, anyway, Briggs...you know this.

Year	Source	        Height w/o Shoes	Height w/shoes	Weight	Wingspan	Standing Reach	
2013	Eurocamp	6' 9.5"	                6' 11"	        255	7' 1.5"	        9' 1"

These measurements were from 2 years ago. Maybe he grew .5 inches??

He is not the same height as Gasol, anyway. And nobody thought he was.

Actually I think he's closer to 6'4 than 6'9.....But he plays like hes 7'3 a few inches doesn't matter to me, as long as you play bigger than your size.

But, but Pau is taller -- world is ending.
