Is this the exact wording of the article? I can state as a fact that Paul
Kariya is not 5-7. He's closer to 5-9 or 5-10. I'm 5-7 and he is at least
that much taller than me. I think the Maine game program listed him at
5-9. In any case, having stood next to the man, I can say that he is
taller than me by a couple of inches. The press usually has a way of
making small players seems smaller so their accomplishments look bigger, I
guess.
