Paul George Wingspan: A Huge Advantage in the NBA?

Alright, let’s talk about this Paul George fella and his wingspan. Folks keep jabberin’ on about it, so I figured I’d chime in, you know, give you my two cents.

Now, they say this Paul George, he’s a basketball player. Big fella, tall as a beanpole, or so they say. Six foot nine, that’s what I heard. That’s taller than my old man was, and he was a giant in my eyes.

But it ain’t just about how tall he is, no sir. It’s about how long his arms are, this “wingspan” thing. They say his arms are like stretchin’ out a dang tape measure. Almost seven feet long, longer than he is tall even! Can you imagine? Lord have mercy, it’s like he could reach across the whole darn kitchen without movin’ his feet.

I seen some pictures of him. Looks like a skinny fella, but don’t let that fool ya. They say he’s strong, moves like a cat, quick as a whip. That wingspan, that’s what gets folks talkin’ though. It helps him grab the ball, they say, steal it from other fellas. And when he shoots, that ball goes flyin’ high, hard to block when your arms are that long.

• He’s a scorer, they tell me. Means he puts the ball in the hoop a lot.
• And he’s a defender, too. Stops other fellas from scorin’. That wingspan helps him there, too, I reckon. Makes him like a wall, can’t get past him.

They compare him to other players, you know, talk about who’s got the longest arms and all that. There was this fella, Manute Bol, they say he had arms longer than anyone, even longer than Paul George’s! Eight feet six inches they say, taller than my whole house is wide probably. But Manute, well, he ain’t playin’ no more, Lord rest his soul.

This Paul George though, he’s still playin’. They say he’s one of the best, plays for lots of different teams. He must be somethin’ special, all that talk about his arms and all.

Now, I ain’t never seen a basketball game in my life, not a real one anyways. Too busy workin’ the farm, raisin’ kids, and all that. But I hear folks on the radio, talkin’ about these players, and this Paul George fella, they sure do mention that wingspan of his a whole heap.

They say he uses his hands real good too, with those long arms. Grabs the ball, keeps it tight. And he can put on weight, they say, get stronger. He’s already a big fella, but with that wingspan, and some more muscle, well, I reckon he’d be hard to stop.

Some folks say he’s graceful too, like a dancer. Can you imagine? A big tall fella with arms like that, movin’ all smooth and graceful. Must be somethin’ to see.

So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this Paul George and his wingspan. Long arms, good player, they say. He’s six foot eight, some say six foot nine, but his arms are near seven foot long, even longer. That’s what makes him special, helps him play the game, and gets folks talkin’, that’s for sure. Seems like a handy thing to have, long arms like that. I could sure use ’em reachin’ for them high shelves in the pantry.

Anyways, I gotta get back to my chores. Just thought I’d share what I heard about this basketball fella and his impressive reach.
