Alright, so listen up, y’all gonna hear me talk about this… this… “claxton wingspan” thing. I ain’t no expert, mind you, just a plain ol’ woman, but I’ll tell ya what I know, the way I know it.
First off, what’s this wingspan, huh? It’s like when you spread your arms out wide, like a scarecrow, yeah? That’s it. From fingertip to fingertip. Now, this Claxton fella, they say he’s got a long one. Real long. Like, longer than most. He’s a big boy, plays that basketball game, you know, the one with the hoop and the bouncing?
They say he’s almost seven feet tall, that’s taller than my ol’ barn door! And his wingspan, that reach of his, they say it’s over seven feet too. Now, why’s that important, you ask? Well, in that basketball game, it helps him grab the ball, block other fellas, you know, be a nuisance. Like a pesky fly you can’t swat.
- Wingspan ain’t just about arm length, see. It’s your whole upper body, back and all.
- And it matters in basketball, makes you good at grabbing those rebounds.
- This Claxton, he’s good at that, they say. Real good.
I heard some folks talking, saying he’s got the same kinda reach as that Giannis fella. Don’t know him, but they say he’s a big deal too. Tall and long, just like this Claxton. Means he can stand tall and block shots, like a wall, nobody can get past him. And he can guard those little fast fellas too, keep ’em from scoring. That’s important in that basketball game, I reckon.
Now, this Claxton, he ain’t always been this way. He was younger once, like we all were. And he probably grew, like a weed in the springtime. Folks grow, that’s just how it is. Some grow tall, some grow wide, some just stay put, like me. But this Claxton, he grew tall and long, lucky fella.
They say he’s got a “standing reach” too, that’s how high he can reach standing up. Over nine feet! He could probably change a lightbulb in my kitchen without a ladder! That’s something, ain’t it? All that length, it helps him play that basketball game real good.
And he ain’t just long arms and legs, he’s got some jump to him too. They say he can jump high, real high. Like a frog, but taller. That helps in basketball too, grabbing those balls up high, slam dunkin’ ’em, they call it.
So, this Claxton wingspan, it’s a big deal, see? It makes him good at his job, that basketball thing. He’s got the height, the reach, the jump. He’s a long, tall drink of water, as they say. And he uses it all to be a good player. That’s all there is to it, really. Just a long fella with long arms, doing what he does best.
They picked him up in somethin’ called a “draft” back in 2019. Been playin’ with the Nets ever since. Don’t know much about that, but sounds like they saw somethin’ special in him, that length of his probably. He’s young too, just a spring chicken, got lots more basketball left in him, I reckon. And that long wingspan, well, that ain’t goin’ nowhere.
So there ya have it, my two cents on this Claxton wingspan. He’s long, he’s tall, and he’s good at basketball. That’s about as simple as I can make it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
