Thing is, that six-footer has to shop in the 'old man' section of the store, while the 5'11-incher gets all of the boys, children's, youth, and short-stuff sections!

I get the joke every time someone makes it. But the thing is dudes that are 5’11” and some change can just say they are 6’. Who the hell is gonna call you on it?

I always say on my dating profiles I'm 5'11'' even though I'm over 6'. Filters out many of the superficial people.

That is foreshortening or whatever it’s called…some Gandalf/Frodo photographic tricks.

Saying “and a half” sounds childish, it’s ok to round up if it’s legit 11 and a half. I’m 5’9 and a half and definitely say 5’10. Gimme that extra place value in my height.

Looks like a lot more than a 1" difference.

I looked it up cause I was curious and knew Wembanyama was really tall, Tremont Waters #51 is 5’11” and Victor Wembanyama #1 is listed at 7’3” but he’s just 19 years old and a recent article came out saying he’s grown and now 7’5” with shoes on. He’s projected to be the #1 pick in the NBA draft so that’s likely why people were so interested in that.

#1 is a guy named Victor Wembanyama, aged 19. He's 7'4" and he's considered by virtually every person on earth to be the #1 overall pick in this year's NBA draft. #51 is LSU alum Tremont Waters. He's 5'11".

This guy is going to stand under the basket and wait for someone to throw the ball to him. Such talent. He'll probably go through his entire career with one pair of shoes.

Where’d you get he’s 6ft? If he is, I’ve been measuring my junk totally wrong.

Perspective is fun!

Isn’t he like 7 feet something and still growing?

I feel like the perspective is being forced.
