For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

To be fair, if you live in the US and are 7' or taller, there's a 17% chance you were employed by the NBA at some point.
If you lived anywhere in the world it only drops to 9%
So it's pretty decent odds that any random 7' or taller person has played basketball professionally.
