Uh, Tim -- 

1.  Stockton is small (6' or 6'1") but Hornacek is 6'3"; Payton is 6'4" 
and Hawkins is 6'2"; and, while Tim Hardaway is GENEROUSLY listed at 6' 
(with a football player's body), Voshon Lenard is 6'4".

2.  All of those players (with the possible exception of Lenard) are 
very, very good -- a claim one cannot make about a single member of the 
C's backcourt, nor, based on two years of college, about Mr. Shammgod, 
his first name notwithstanding.
