Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about these basketball fellas, the ones with the long arms, you know, the wingspan thing.
Wingspan, what’s that even mean? Well, it’s like when you spread your arms out wide, how far it is from one fingertip to the other. Like a bird, you know? Some of these basketball boys, they got arms like wings, long as heck.
Now, everybody and their grandma knows about that fella, the real tall one, Manute Bol. Yep, he was the tallest, but he also had the longest wingspan ever in the whole NBA history. Imagine this, the man was seven foot seven, but his arms? They stretched out to eight foot six! That’s like taller than my doorway! He played for a bunch of teams, but never won no championship. Still, those arms, they were somethin’ else. Even for a tall guy, his arms were way longer than you’d expect, like more than a tenth longer than his whole body. That’s just crazy, ain’t it?
- Manute Bol: 7’7″ tall, 8’6″ wingspan. That’s the longest, folks, the longest ever.
Then there’s this new kid, Wembanyama. People are makin’ a big fuss about him. They say his arms are so long, longer than a big ol’ eagle’s wings, even longer than some snakes! I saw him on TV the other day, swattin’ away the ball like it was a fly. Just flicked it away, no problem. He’s got them long arms, that’s for sure.
Now, some other fellas got long arms too. There’s this Ayton fella, plays for the Suns. He’s good, real good, and tall. They gave him a bunch of money to stay on the team, so he must be doin’ somethin’ right. But his arms ain’t as long as Manute’s, not even close. And there’s another one, Tacko Fall. Big name, big fella. He’s tall too, but again, ain’t nobody beatin’ Manute in the arm department.
Let’s not forget about Rudy Gobert. That fella’s got arms that go on forever. I hear tell his wingspan is seven foot nine. That’s mighty long, puts him up there with the best of ‘em, but still not long enough to beat Manute. He’s like, fourth place or somethin’.
- Rudy Gobert: Wingspan of 7’9″. Long, but not the longest.
So, if you’re askin’ who has the absolute longest wingspan in the NBA, it’s Manute Bol, hands down. No contest. That fella could probably reach across the whole kitchen without movin’ his feet! These other guys, they’re long too, but Manute, he was somethin’ special. Longest arms the league has ever seen, and probably ever will see. That’s just the way it is.
Now, I don’t know all the fancy stats and numbers, but I know what I see. And when I see a fella with arms longer than my clothesline, I know he’s got a long wingspan. And Manute Bol, he had the longest. End of story.
These young fellas comin’ up, they might be tall, they might be good, but they ain’t got nothin’ on Manute when it comes to those long arms. That man was a giant with wings, that’s what he was.
So there you have it, the lowdown on who got the longest wings. Manute Bol. Don’t let nobody tell you different. He might not be playin’ no more, but his record stands. Longest wingspan in the NBA. That’s a fact.
