I wish I'd hit 6'6" like I was supposed to, according to the old wive's tale method of doubling your height at two years old.

I could have dunked easily, instead of just that one golden time I jumped freakishly high.

Funny you should mention that - I remember when younger that we measured my younger brother at two, and he grew up to hit the predicted height, reaching 6'9". Played basketball professionally. When he outgrew me as a teenager, my only chance in one-on-one was to play rougher and call no fouls. My dunks were on the school outdoor court with a slightly bent-down ring!
