This doesn't directly pertain to the NBA, but I there was an article in Newsday today about Sun Ming Ming, a 23 year old who is 7 feet 9 inches! That's three inches taller than Yao, which is quite impressive. Not to mention he is the world's second tallest man.

The article was saying that he hopes to play in the NBA one of these days, but it all depends on how he recovers from his recent surgery that he had to remove a tumor that was next to his pituitary gland. The tumor caused him to have gigantism, and up until they removed the tumor, he was still growing.

They showed a picture of him and compared his height to Yao, and a couple of other players, including Michael Jordan (They comapred his height, not his skill level to MJ, lol). I couldn't imagine any under 6'5 trying to defend him. He definetly would be a force on the court if developed into an all around player.

I thought it was an interesting read. If anyone would like to read the actual article, here it is:

Yeah, he's playing ABA ball for now. But if he gets some muscle and gets physical like Yao is now starting to do. He'll be a huge post presence, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets punked around by a 6'10 guy.

Sure, Dallas is afraid of every team. They've only been lucky 65 times this season so far. Lets see if the Rockets can beat Utah before you start talking about the big boys.

that quote above me was made 3 months ago. since then, Carmello and A.I. have played together just fine without any problems with egotistical domination or anything. they really are friends and hang out a lot outside of the games here in Denver. watching the local news over here i see that lesser known story. I am really happy for the Nuggets considering being a fan in Denver 10-15 years ago was really disappointing, kind of like being a Philadelphia Eagles fan.

I don't think the Mav's will lose but the Warriors have there #, it looks as Don Nelson knows how to shut down the Dutch Man...I like the Nuggets to knock off the Spurs as well
