下面水太大，怕你们和其他有兴趣的sports geeks没看到，由此重贴一份。

下面就给你引用一段到处都有报道的东西(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."

我们知道篮圈3。05米，"four more feet than the rim's height", four feet=48inches=2.54cm*48=1.22米。1.22+3.05(篮圈高度)=4。27米。篮板上沿高度是3。95米。你说一个摸高4。27米的人能摸到篮板上沿吗?

让我们再看一段:

"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.

请注意"a near world record".

让我们再来看一下张伯伦的数据(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. "

可见两个篮球场上的对手在田径场上也有相似的成绩。

你在致疑之前最好先调查一下，也就不会说出"你引用数字太随便"这样的无理之语了。

关于百米成绩，我也觉得稍有可疑。是我在一篇中文报导中看来的，也许是个typo，common sense觉得10'6更合理一点。还有待我找到原始数据。其他数据还是相当可靠的。
