Does anyone remeber Chappell's massive dunk over Ben Pepper in the 2004 All-Star game in Melbourne. I can remeber Casey saying: "What a dunk! Mike Chappell could have air sickness".

Wouldn't .66 of a foot be 8"?
Back to basics:
0.33=1/3
1 foot=12"
1/3 of a foot=4"
0.33 or1/3 of a foot=4"
Multiplying that by 2.
If:
0.33=1/3
Wouldn't 0.66 be 2/3?
1/3 of a foot is 4"
Wouldn't 2/3 of a foot be 8"?

PS I'm sure all you basketball nuts have heard of one Michael Jordan - 6'6, 198cm (6'5!! actually 6.4960629855)

Maybe you guys should check your maths!

1 inch = 2.54cm (approx)
203cm = 79.92 inches
29.92 inches / 12 = 6.66 thus 6'6 (I am not of the NBA mould where you round it up to the nearest inch and than add 1 inch)

Or alternatively try exact 1 centimeter = 0.393700787 inches

203 x 0.393700787 = 79.921259761 inches

/ 12 = 6.66010498008333333333333....

No matter which way you do it the bloke is not yet 6'7 and therefore must be listed as 6'6.

I think chappell is around 6'8-6'9 Cooper would probably be taller at around 6'10ish, but not much in it with height. I think Chappell is a player of the KB mould and will be a good fit for the 36ers!!

Fantastic signing! The Sixers are doing a fantastic job at recruiting! Chappell should be very exiting, I remember some awesome dunks he threw down in the 2004 all-star game. But hes got more than dunks, this boy can play!

I'm pretty sure he is 203cm 6'6.

For those of you that think this guy doesn't have any flash, obviously you didn't see his massive dunk here while playing for the breakers - I still think it's the greatest jam I'm ever seen at the Dome!!! Great signing guys, I'm excited! :D
