according to the official player directory at NBA.com, Bobby Jackson =
is 6'1, which almost surely means he's smaller than that. billups is =
listed at 6'3.

FYI, here are the numbers for Billups, Jackson & Brevin Knight, =
respectively.


   G  GS  MPG=A0  FGM-A   FG%=A0 3PM-A  3P%=A0  FTM-A  FT%=A0  RPG  =
APG  ST  BL  PTS PPG
                                                                      =
                     
   16 12  21.4=A0 42-116 .362=A0 12-47 .255=A0  37-45 .822=A0  1.6  =
3.6  21  0   133 8.3 (billups)

   13 13  35.2=A0 70-177  .395=A0 6-16  .375=A0 33-41  .805=A0 5.5  =
4.5  10  2   179 13.8 (jackson)

   13  10  31.3  41-98  .418=A0  0-1  .000=A0 34-46  .739=A0  3.1  =
8.3  39  3   116 8.9  (knight)

Though I consider myself a Billups supporter, it is embarrassing he's =
getting outrebounded by such shorter guys. Knight is leading the NBA =
in steals, is 7th in assists and 8th in assist-turnover ratio. Note =
too though that while Jax is scoring more than Billups & both have =
more APG, both are playing more minutes. I suspect if somebody =
calculated Chauncey's #s over Jackson's 35 mpg, there would be very =
little difference in their numbers.
