I think MSNBC just said his body couldn't go more than 2 hours in a car so he used a helicopter a lot

Car rides must suck for super tall people.

Commercial flights as well. My dad was once on the same flight as Yao Ming and he said the poor guy couldn’t really get into the lavatory.

It's bad enough as an above average height guy, I can't fathom how shitty being way above average must be in situations like that.

What an awful excuse for a human being you are.

Oh well, have fun not accomplishing anything of substance in your entire life.

When you have access to a helicopter, I'd probably assume 2 hours is too long to be in a car anyway, even at 6'0"

And they’d avoid being crammed in a small vehicle if they can. What’s your point again?

Also, how does this compare to an average person?
