So are you saying that if the lakers offered you shaq and said they would
pick up his salary, you would tell him to piss off because he is too big?!
I don't think so. Besides bigger players are stronger and are better for
posting up.
Speaking of bigger, on the interview with Ron Mercer at nba.com, he says
that he has been practising every day and has put on 10 pounds (as in
muscle). This also would be great to have strong shooting guards in Minor
and now Mercer so they wont be pushed around! Good work Ron.
