Glad he didn't crash into something/someone while gawking.

I walked past Ted Robinson leaving the scrimmage last year.  What a time to be alive.

One time, at Bellagio, my wife walked around a casino corner and smashed into Michael Jordan.  His body guards sprang into action but Mike wrapped his arms around her, told them to back off, and asked if she was okay.  Her only comment?  "He's not as big as I thought he would be."  But what did you say?  Oh, I told him I was fine and sorry, then went on my way.  Why?

Interesting.  I've never met Michael in person but he seems not to be very "big" per se, just very tall and lean.  I have a friend who encountered LeBron (and his prodigious entourage) at Caesars once and reported that he is in fact a massive human being.

That picture in the OP is interesting.  Magic is 6'9", how tall is Shaw?  He appears to be about 6'4" from the picture, of course there could be an optical illusion going on.  I've seen Shaw up close a few times and he didn't strike me as being so tall.

Well, my wife is 6' 0" and Jordan is 6' 6" so  . . . . . . .

I once almost got run over by Arnold Schwarzenegger while skiing in Sun Valley (before he became our governor).  I remember thinking a) he's not as big as I thought and b) he is one hell of a skier.  I guess growing up in Austria had something to do with it.  Bruce Willis was also on the mountain but I only caught a glimpse of him on the lift line.

Jordan is actually 6'5" or slightly less. Your wife was wearing (and looking good in) 4" spike heels while Michael was wearing thin soled $5,000 Italian loafers. So they were probably close to eye to eye. What did she say happened after they bumped into each other?

I'm friendly with a former Stanford lineman who met Schwarzenegger in the course of business.  He swears that Schwarzenegger wears lifts in his shoes...also that's he's the most alpha male he'd ever run across.

I met Arnie at the opening of film in LA back in my senior year. At the time I was 6'2" and my girlfriend commented on the fact that I was at least an inch taller than him. Nice guy, but I have found that many body builders are shorter than forecast.

See what you quoted above.

We ran into Sylvester Stallone once in Newport.  Guy is massive, and SHORT.

Re: DAVID SHAW (and Johnny Dawkins) MEETS MAGIC JOHNSON - stupac2 - 10-05-2015

All the bodybuilding types I've known are clearly compensating for something, so the famous ones mostly being short isn't even a little surprising.

Big hands warm heart?

Re: DAVID SHAW (and Johnny Dawkins) MEETS MAGIC JOHNSON - BrevinsBest - 10-05-2015

The largest human I've ever seen in person is Shaquille O'Neal. He is absolutely massive. I've bumped into him twice at trade shows. While they say he's not 7' tall, he's at least 4' wide, or so it seems.

Re: DAVID SHAW (and Johnny Dawkins) MEETS MAGIC JOHNSON - Rally - 10-06-2015

I was in a bar in Honolulu when Wilt Chamberlain walk in.  Now that was a big man.

Re: DAVID SHAW (and Johnny Dawkins) MEETS MAGIC JOHNSON - yvonne - 10-06-2015

Yeah, he was in the press box at a meet I was covering. I came away thinking only "That is one large human being."

Re: DAVID SHAW (and Johnny Dawkins) MEETS MAGIC JOHNSON - Mick - 10-06-2015

I saw Ronnie Lott at a gelato place in Capitola.  Much smaller than I'd expected, maybe 5'11"

Smaller still when you remember that he is missing part of a little finger!  ;)
