"As the 2011 Mr. Olympia, Heath picked up a sweet trophy and a nice check for $200,000. Of course that's still less than the minimum salary in the NBA, which is $473,604."


Is the headline spurred only by his supposedly failed basketball career?

Really?  Does that make you feel better or validated?  Why?  Bodybuilding is a fringe activity for muscle extremists and schmoes.  No amount of yahoo coverage will change that. :-[

I figured he was about 5'8"-9" but I never really paid attention, 99% of bbers are sawed off fucks so it makes sense to assume they are all midgets, so when I saw 5'11" I was shocked and awed.

LOL Yeah being front page on yahoo after winning the Olypmia is great..........so all the world can sit there and lament about how many drugs you use.  The before and after photos don't help.  LOL.....no thanks!

His before pics prove that pro bodybuilding is "all drugs".  You can have a casting call in every big city (ala American Idol) and have a 1,000 dudes that look like Heath's before pics show up.  Its not "great genetics" as much as it is a trusted supplier, and the balls to juice to the gills!

Heath is 5'9, Jay has been 5'8 forever...Basketball heights tend to be inflated..

all the times......basketball has always been notorious for adding xtra inches to everyone's real heights. Allen Iverson is 5'10 with no shoes on, but the NBA listed him as 6'1
