Two steps. You can still take a foot up off the ground from there but you can't put it down without releasing the ball. (shot or pass)

I bought a pair of nikes for 60 bucks.  Great shoes to play basketball in. No need to pay over hundred dollars.  Just a waste of money.  You can buy good basketball shoes in the 40-70 dollar range

Basketball is a different game when you are that tall.  The distance between your hands and the floor is almost double that of a player that stand a foot shorter.  Then you have to consider that his arms are significantly longer too, so it makes it difficult to dribble the ball close to the body.  Even the ball itself is disproportionate to Yao's body.  He'll never be Shaq, but he is better than Manute Bol and Shawn Bradley.  He is a top 5 center in the NBA right now.  He is a funny guy too and there's something to be said for that considering he speaks very little English.

Michael Jordan is "listed" as 6 feet 6 inches tall, however, NBA players typically list their height WITH their shoes on.  I have a friend that served as security for Michael Jordan, and Michael Jordan WITHOUT shoes is just a hair over 6 feet 5 inches.

yea, i would actually say they're better. the only reason marbury's shoes are cheap is because he wanted them to be cheap. he's not greedy like other nba players, and companies like jordan and nike. If you play basketball i recommend you get these shoes over any other pair on the market. it doesnt make sense to pay over 100 for a pair of shoes when you can get a pair for 15. plus, his shoes are hot as hell.

Manute Bol, who is from Sudan, played in the NBA at about 7-7.  He is considered the tallest man ever in the league, just above Gheorge Muresan.  While he was more of a show than anything, he blocked many shots, and could hit from outside.  He wasn't heavy, though, and thus got manhandled a lot in the paint.  He has since traveled around the world, and now lives in Connecticut :)

I 5'6 guy doing a dunk. A 7 footer hitting a three is just funny, not necessarily exciting.

How would playing basketball make someone tall?  You probobly think that because most tall people play because it's a big advantage to have height.

I've never heard of a baseball player having a 42 inch vertical jump. Many college and pro basketball players have that type of vertical. I think you have to be more athletic to play basketball than baseball. I've seen many very overweight baseball players, but you dont see overweight basketball players. Shaquille O'neal is heavy, but he is listed as only having 11% body fat. Basketball players overall can jump much better, but there are some baseball players that jump well.

Michael "Wild Thing" Wilson, who plays for the Globetrotters and played at the University of Memphis, set the world record by dunking on a 12 foot high goal.  I seem to remember reading somewhere that his vertical was measured at 51 inches while in college, but I can't remember the source for that now.  In comparison, Michael Jordan had a verical around 46 inches in his prime.
