    None of you mother****ers would be able to comprehend the awesomeness of a 6 foot 3 Jeff Van Gundy.

    Better question is, how much of a better player Yao would be with 7 inches off.

    Even our scrubs would be nice.

    Jermaine Taylor - Taller Carmelo Anthony
    David Anderson - Yao Ming
    Mike Harris - Shaq
    Hilton Armstrong - Manute Bol

    no there is only 1 answer: CHUCK HAYES.

    Scola being over 7 foot wouldn't help him much. He still would get blocked trying to dunk and his game wouldn't be that much different... he'd probably just have slower footwork

    same thing with Battier. 6 inches isn't going to help him shoot spot-up 3s. it probably would just make him a slower defender.

    brooks, would benefit from it but it wouldn't help him figure out what the do with the ball once he dribbled into the lane out of control. he might be able to finish a bit better but in that case you're talking about him also having a bigger stronger frame as well as height... which are 2 things

    Yao... obviously he'd be 350lbs and walking on 2 busted feet 200 days out of the year if he were 8 feet tall.. he'd be the most dominant offensive presence in the league in the paint when healthy but he'd be healthy about 10 games a year

    Chuck... he's just be chuck. the same the no-offense, no-jumping dude but he'd be the strongest guy in the league stonger than shaq in his prime and beasting on defense

    I would add 3" to Chase Budinger making him a 6'10" combo player like Kevin Durant.

    And, I would add 3" to Aaron Brooks ....

    I would add 3 inches to V-Span which would add 3 inches to the surface area of DD's sweat pants.

    Landry would be better than Amare if he's 7' tall.

    1 inch to Scola, 3 to Brooks, 2 to Lowry.

    More height at the PG position would be amazing.

    Yao + 6 inches would be absolutely unfair for the opponent, but he'd be twice as injury prone.

    Bring in Ron Jeremy off the bench. You'll get way more than 6".

    Add the 6" to Brooks.

    Lowry/(Draft or trade for a G)
    Martin/Brooks
    Ariza/Budinger
    Scola/Hill
    Yao/Hayes

    Trade Battier.
