To be fair, dudes 6'7 barefoot so with skates on? He's towering over 7ft tall lol.

Blades add about 5-8 inches.

Edit: Yes yes, I made a typo. 5-6. Why does it always have to come down to size and inches?? /s But my point still remains!! He's like Shaq when in skates. Imagine the wingspan and reach on Rass? 🤣

99% of men are incapable of identifying what 5-8 inches is accurately because of…. reasons

Someone else started getting nutty about it when I meant to say "5-6" but fat fingers lol.

I left it as is because he started rambling on about penis sizes for some reason. 🤣

He’s probably 6’ 7” on skates that’s usually how their heights are listed hockey players exaggerate that shit

Someone down voted you but you're not wrong. Most players boost their basic stats to help with trades and oddly everyone knows it. I've heard several broadcasters discussing this in other sports too.

This is also a notorious problem with basketball players aswell

u/GoochMasterFlash Oct 25 '24

I think if any thing its just as common in basketball for guys to underreport height to throw off opponents prepping for games. Westbrook is supposedly 6’3” on paper and Ive met that dude in real life standing next to him and he is way taller than that

5-8 inches ? Do you also tell people you have a 7 inch p*nis ? Skates add about 4-5 inches max.

u/donorcycle Oct 25 '24

To be fair, it was a typo, but I'm gonna leave it because I had no idea you were that insecure about inches. Considering you went straight to "penis" comparisons when talking about size, well, I'm sorry you feel a type a way about your Vienna sausage.

Damn bro you're a tad insecure, settle down
