His feet are almost at the other guy's shoulder!

I don't know if the measurements are for a standing vert
but the pictures tell a thousand words!
And he's 6'6" too....

Must be awfully hard to block his spikes!

volleyball players have nice vets. volleyball is a game of mostly power. thats y it is easier for volleyball players to get a vert then basketball players. basketball is a hard sport to train for.(so many different things to train for.)

That's why I only play halfcourt.

No running around sapping my power

I am a volleyball player and we used to play indoor with this brazilian guy who could get his entire waist above the net, no one could block him. He would literally hit the ball down a blockers back, right over his block. One day a guy smarted off, at him, for hitting the ball at his wife to hard, and the next set the blocker (the smart ass guy), went up with him and this guy just hit the dude in teh face with the volleyball and broke the poor guys nose. Needless to say it shut the guy up.
A few week later in the finals this same guy, hit the ball so hard, it bounced and hit he floor came up and hit a girl in the chin and knocked her out cold. Needless to say, I don't play against this guy anymore just with him.. LOL.
