Ok, I lied. 7’9″ Sum Mingming might have a chance in the NBA, but I think he’d fare much better in a driveway game of Baseketball. I just can’t get over this guy’s size for some reason. Apparently, Sun Mingming had a brain tumor that pressed against his pituitary gland causing abnormal growth… More if you’re interested

There may be more of them (Yao, Ye, and Sum) but they don’t have the impact that more skill players do. They may be tall but Manute Bol and Gheorghe Muresan were tall too and they couldnt get anything done for their team. It’ll be interesting to see a guy this tall play but I don’t think he’ll be a major factor.

I guess being 6′ tall doesn’t make one a tall asian anymore does it
