At 7-feet-1 with a 7-foot-7 wingspan, Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside is a very large man. His height and length is a big reason why Whiteside was able to finish second in blocks with an average of 2.56 blocks per game last season. 

Whiteside's wingspan is so ridicioulsly long, that he can just easily reach up to grab and bend the rim while standing on his tiptoes.

I don't think people realize how big I am and how long my arms are I'm just hanging #it10feetlol

Maybe Heat head coach Erik Spolestra will be able to incorporate a Whiteside standing tip-in or dunk in an out-of-bounds play next season.

Hasssan Whiteside actually jumped for this dunk.
