Talk:Arvydas Sabonis

message: Arvydas R. Sabonis Assumed current physical stats:
Ht. (assumed without shoes): 7 ft 3 ins [220cm]
Wt. NBA Listing: 292 lbs [132kg]
Wt. (current) approx. 340 lbs [154kg]
Shoes: U.S. Men's size 18 [36cm]
Wingspan: approx. 7 ft 3 ins[222 cm]
Reach: approx. 9 feet 5 ins [282cm]
Actually, He was measured at 7 ft 3 1/4,  WITH shoes on, back in April 1996. He is assumed to stand about 7'1.5" barefoot. Some 90% of NBA players are listed on the roster with their height IN shoes. Yet, they are allowed to be measured barefoot if they so choose. For example, Yao Ming is a legitimate 7'6 barefoor, and Georghe Muressan is a barefoot 7 ft 7.
He was listed at 220 cm (7 ft 2½ in) and 120 kg (265 lb) at the 1988 Summer Olympics. I've sometimes seen him credited as the tallest Olympic Champion, and at least there hasn't been anyone taller since, for that I'm sure. --Anshelm '77 00:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This man must obviously have a foreign name, but only his English name is listed.  Does he have Russian (or some other language) name?  Can soemone add it? Hbdragon88 07:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, Arvydas Sabonis is his name in both Lithuanian and English and it's written in his passport. Russian has nothing to do here. He's not Russian. Renata 13:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry.  I just thought it was unusual to only have one name. Hbdragon88 20:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Foreign name?

message: Someone has altered all his stats, and I really don't want to mess with the table or anything, so if anyone who has more experience could fix that it would be greatly appreciated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.116.199 (talk) 20:26, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of them seem OK to me. I corrected one rounding error, but otherwise, I didn't notice any problems. Maybe you're comparing the stats with a per 36/48 minutes table...? Zagalejo^^^ 20:48, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

text: Oh, I see what happened. It was fixed before I showed up. Zagalejo^^^ 20:49, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I fixed it, but thank you for your help.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.116.199 (talk) 16:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
