Wow, imagine a lineup with him and four munchkins - Telfair,  Allan 
Ray,  Rondo and Lucky (OK, maybe Delonte instead of Lucky, who seems to 
be about 5-5).
It would be like the lineup that Don Nelson used to put out occasionally 
in his first stint with the Warriors - Manute Bol, Tim Hardaway, Mitch 
Richmond, Sarunas Marciulionis, and Chris Mullin - but more dramatic and 
less effective.
In the 80's, there was a player,  Aleksandr Sizonenko,  in the USSR's 
top league who was officially listed at 7-9, but actually closer to 8 
feet tall (the Soviets had a habit of underlisting the players' actual 
height, especially for the really tall players). He couldn't  run,  just 
walk. The wild part is, he still kept growing! He's now apparently 
around 8-3.
