From Goliath in the Bible to Cyclopean mythology, the existence of ‘giants’ has been questioned from an unknown time. What might be a mere personification of nature and her forces in the form of mythological 'giant' beings, could otherwise be a ‘giant’ when simply compared to a smaller stature of people in ancient times. Ancient Egyptians were, on average, 4ft tall, a height today we would call dwarfism. An average 5ft 9 US man today would be equivalent to a giant in comparison, and there were people in those days who stood above six foot. In the 20th century Robert Wadlow was nearly 9 foot tall, the result of a growth hormone condition. Recent college basketball freshman Olivier Rioux has been in the news for his height, too, standing at 7ft 9. Ancient depictions of giants alongside proportional animals or humans are said to represent important people, though in other cases there are equally proportionate humans and large creatures like centipedes alongside smaller ‘normal’ sized creatures. Such images have been found in South American rock carvings. We must not forget massive flora and fauna, including redwood trees, are equally GIANT, as are the many mysterious things in our oceans.

He's literally twice as tall as other players. So that means everyone else on the team is under 4 feet. You are using the word wtong. Please stop using that word. You are using it incorrectly! It's lazy!:

I'm glad you literally read the ruling instead of just reading the ruling. I dont think anyone would have understood that you read it of you didn't use the word literally. Using that word is beyond annoying especially when you use it wrong and it add absolutely nothing to what you are say and it's just lazy.
