RE: 7 fter
According to this article from Forbes, there are only 70 men in all of America between the ages of 20 and 40 who are 7' or taller. While a person between 6'6" and 6'8" has a 0.07% chance of making it to the NBA, there is a 17% chance of anyone 7' or taller making it. So a 7 footer has a 17.0/.07, or a 242 times better chance of making it to the NBA than someone who most of us would consider quite tall. Bottom line, 7 footers are really hard to find, if they can walk and chew gum, they might make a lot of money.
