    Well before we get going at each others throats and blaming referees etc and throwing stats of our games..... I came across some amazing stats on this tall guy.

    Vikas Uppal: 18 years old, 8 feet 3 inches and close to 400 pounds. He lives!! and I wonder if he can move.

    The article says he's 8'9"!!! Who cares if he can move. . .his head could block 1.5 shots per game!

    Something I have always wondered is what will happen to the rules if we start seeing 8 foot centers in the league, like those that are currently being bred in China?

    Will the rim go higher?

    It should go higher....but do you really believe the theory of gentically engineered children in China.....Anyway I do know that there is a book out there on Yao Ming. But it has to be fiction cos his parents are tall.
    Well with great height there are disadvantages too...P-Pod is a good example.

    The Asian kid is 360 lbs? He weighs as much as Fat Shaq?

    That has to be a typo, right?
