champs/size

[Christopher Gee <cgee@BGNet.bgsu.edu>]

Whoever stated that size wins in this league just doesn't get the
point.Including Chicago the last eight or nine champs have been all
smaller teams.  Hakeem is only 6'10 and who was their power forward(thorpe
or elie), Detroit was dominated by thomas, dumars and VJ.  Laimbeer was
6'11, and they had rodman but they were not a particulary large team.
With the exception of the celts, and maybe LA, recent champs have beeen
winning with smaller more versatile multi dimensional players.

My point being is that a Walker/ Duncan/and a small forward combo could be
succesful even though they are not extremely tall.  Walker is a power
forward and he will get much stronger and bigger in years to come.  Kemp,
Malone didn't just step into to the league as the monsters they are now.
