I am 6 foot even. Never thought that was tall until I got in the real world.

I'm 6'3, but I read like I'm 6'7.
My goal was at the least 6'. I did not make it. I had three cousins that were within 3 weeks of my age. Hack ended up 6'2", Jerry 6'5" and Dwight 6'8". I always felt inadequate at the Higginbotham reunions.

Crazy how that works sometimes. Must have had some decent basketball players in that family.

I'm right in the middle for my own family. Two of my brothers are 6'4 - and the other two are 6'2. My height was somewhat predictable.

But, sometimes the genetics can be fickle. Michael Jordan was 6'6, yet his father was only 5'9 - and his two brothers were also below 6 feet. I knew someone that was 6'5, played at Central Michigan, and his son, who was my age, was only about 5'5.

Yeah, my son is 6’2, and his mom was tall too (5’10), so you’d think he’d be off the charts. Not so much.

My dad was 5'5". His dad, my paternal grandfather was 6'5", born in 1859. The only problem was he married Sarah Jane Lee who was 4'11". My dad's family was a mixture of short and long.

The cousin that was 6'8" married a girl that was 6'2" (she was three inches taller than me!) and they had two girls that never got to 5'5". Dwight and his wife:

Note that her legs are nearly as long as Dwight's.

I used to be the short one in my group of friends. Was 5'8" through most of high school untill I sprung all the way up to 5'10". They called me the 5'10" giant. Lol. Now I work around people who are mostly shorter than me outside of 2 or 3 D.A.s and I use all of the short jokes that got used on me, on them.
