    Ming might not have the upper body strength "yet" but you can't discount good footwork, good position and that lower body strength when it comes to claming your position in the paint as shown by the photo above.

    Exactly. With Bradly you have someone that:
    1) does not have a lot of desire/hustle,
    2) mixed in with a wirey frame (uppper and lower body),
    3) mixed in with someone that has poor footwork.

    Strike three you're out!

    Looking at the head shot I can't help but think, give him blond hair and he's dolf lundgren (sp?) from Rocky #?.

    I am most impressed with the first picture. He doesn't go for the basic jump dunk, he can add some variety to his dunks.

    Close your eyes.

    Now imagine Bill & Calvin doing their usual pre-game 'show' from the Compaq Center floor,...

    ....they're standing close to the lay-up line,....

    ....and then Ming's stomach and drawstring walks by behind them.

    :eek:

    Or better yet, imagine if Bill & Calvin do an interview with Ming, and they're all standing.

    :eek:

    'Bill, that's a BIG drink of water! Goodness gracious!' :D

    That first dunk looks like the whistle had blown already. Those other stiffs are just standing there watching.

    Ming does look a whole lot like Dolph Lundgren. HiiiiiYaaaahhh !

    One last note - Those tall ass guys can fight. Did you see Manute Bol destroy William "The Refrigerator" Perry?
