Miranda Hart

Being tall when I was youngerl I was always a bit awkward. As a teenager, I was very, very thin, so I was very gangly and limby, and would sweep things off the table without realising how big my wingspan was - just out of control. A lot of women write to me and say, 'I'm six foot and exactly the same happens' - that's been lovely therapy.

Patrick Beverley

I'm a 6'1' guard, but I'm blessed to have a wingspan of 6'7'. I have good lateral movement. For me, fighting over screens and using my hands, I kind of get tips on the ball. People don't understand getting a hand on the ball - not just stealing it - means a lot, especially in this league because everything happens so fast.

American Basketball Player

Matt Kuchar

I'm John McEnroe-like. I'm coming forward every opportunity I get. My wingspan covers some ground at the net. My serve is OK. I can move it around enough. My groundstrokes are good enough to hang in a rally with a good player. But generally, my goal is to put away a point quickly.

American Athlete

Odell Beckham, Jr.

I have big hands - I wear either a XXXL or XXL glove. I have a 6-8 wingspan on a 5-11 body - I can dunk. My wingspan allows me to do a lot of things that other people at my height might not be able to do.

Paul Millsap

A lot of people judge you on your height, your wingspan, but it's really about the will and the determination that defines a person.

Tyler Herro

I didn't really know my wingspan was that short until it got measured. Either way, I was good with whatever my arm length is.

LaMarcus Aldridge

I think my wingspan helps me out on defense, because I can cover a little more ground and block a few more shots.

C. J. McCollum
