I hope this is an exaggeration, or a typo. I can't imagine a human being alive at this proportion, much less playing basketball.
Oh, I see. Did you mean six feet tall and one hundred and fifty three pounds? The space is in the wrong place?

6'1 53 lb female sounds like what some folks call "supermodel" these days.

Dan -- I know you're just joking, and I'm not offended, but I really can't laugh. The ravages of the various "thin end" eating disorders are very difficult to overcome, and can be permanently damaging. It's only tragic and never to be taken lightly. Except for a very, very few very short women, the word "super" should never be applied to any adult weight under 100 pounds. It's just not healthy.

It was not meant as a joke, I agree it's a serious problem and what's being promoted as the "ideal" female body type these days borders on criminal.

Hmmm....
That's twice in the last few days when I mis-interpreted a post of yours. I'm sorry. I'm not sure why it's happening, but I'll try to be a little less cynical in the future.
