I hope not.  Even though he can dunk on his tip-toes, he is a backup on the 
North Korean team.  That's not much to brag about.

With most 7-0+ players the taller they are, the more they suck.  For every 
inch past 7-4, your body loses mobility, agility, and flexibility.  Maybe 
these guys can block a few shots, but they can still be knocked around, 
dribbled around, and thrown around easily.  There are some exceptions to this 
with players like Shawn Bradley (7-6) and Gheorghe "My Giant" Muresan, but 
most big guys are just bad.  Even Bradley and Muresan can't do much more than 
block shots.

Hey Ray, whatever happened to 7-6 Yao Ming?  Is he still in the draft?  Any 
word on him?
