下面水太大，怕你們和其他有興趣的sports geeks沒看到，由此重貼一份。

下面就給你引用一段到處都有報道的東西(geometry.net,darter.ocps.net,etc)

"After high school Bill played at the University of San Francisco. Day by day his game improved until Bill could touch a spot on the backboard that is 14 feet high, that is four more feet than the rim's height."

我們知道籃圈3。05米，"four more feet than the rim's height", four feet=48inches=2.54cm*48=1.22米。1.22+3.05(籃圈高度)=4。27米。籃板上沿高度是3。95米。你說一個摸高4。27米的人能摸到籃板上沿嗎?

讓我們再看一段:

"In addition to the basketball team, he was also in the track team as a high jumper. His best jump was a near world record.....six feet nine inches.

請注意"a near world record".

讓我們再來看一下張伯倫的數據(sportingnews.com)

"Wilt is not a one-sport man, either. At Overbrook High School in Philly, he high jumped 6 feet, 6 inches, ran the 440 in 49.0 seconds and the 880 in 1:58.3, put the shot 53 feet, 4 inches, broad jumped 22 feet. Bill Easton, Jayhawks track boss, predicts Wilt will reach 7 feet in the high jump if he concentrates on it. "

可見兩個籃球場上的對手在田徑場上也有相似的成績。

你在致疑之前最好先調查一下，也就不會說出"你引用數字太隨便"這樣的無理之語了。

關於百米成績，我也覺得稍有可疑。是我在一篇中文報導中看來的，也許是個typo，common sense覺得10'6更合理一點。還有待我找到原始數據。其他數據還是相當可靠的。
