Burning Question: How Tall is the Guy Wearing #8 on the Celtics? You Won't Believe This!
Ever since you saw that monster dunk in the last Celtics game, you've been wondering: just how tall is the dude with the number 8? Is he like, impossibly tall? NBA jam tall? Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into the fascinating world of Celtic wingspans and get you the answer you crave.
Unveiling the Mystery Man (or Rather, Giant)
The number 8 on the Celtics currently belongs to the one and only Kristaps Porziņģis, a name that rolls off the tongue like a Latvian fairytale (or a particularly enthusiastic sneeze). This walking highlight reel clocks in at a towering 7 feet 2 inches. That's right, folks, he's practically playing a different sport up there!
Fun Fact: Porziņģis is so tall, he could probably high-five the leprechaun on the Celtics logo without even jumping.
Height: Not Just a Number (But Seriously, It's a Big Number)
Let's unpack what 7 feet 2 inches really means. Here's a handy comparison chart to put things in perspective:
- Average NBA point guard: around 6 feet 3 inches (Porziņģis could rest his elbow on their head)
- A double-decker bus (the kind you see in London): about 14 feet tall (Porziņģis might not quite fit under one, but he'd come close)
- The ceiling in your living room: (hopefully) 8 feet tall (Porziņģis might need to duck...or maybe you need a higher ceiling?)
The Advantages (and Maybe a Few Disadvantages) of Being So Tall
There's no denying Porziņģis' height gives him a major edge on the court. He can shoot over defenders, rebound like a maniac, and block shots like nobody's business.
But here's the thing: finding clothes that fit must be a nightmare, and forget about fitting into a regular airplane seat. Also, showers must be a constant battle against low showerheads. Still, we wouldn't trade his height for anything (except maybe a guarantee that he never bumps his head on a doorway).
