Yeah, but some of the leaps I've seen him do are truly spectacular. He
can really fly. There's one shot in particular in TKAA vinyl photo
booklet, where he's up with his legs split apart. It's one of three or
four similar shots, and looks like it was taken from about microphone
level from the audience on what would be the Entwistle side of the arena.
He's got his head cocked to one side at the apex of this jump, and it
looks like he's about 6 feet up.
There are NBA teams who could use a point guard with springs that good.
God, that brings up a strange image - PT crashing the boards with Barkley
and Ewing...
