    I'm just a shade over 6 feet, so I adjusted my daughter's goal to 8 1/2 feet to replicate the Ming proportions. Had some neighborhood kids come over and play, with the tallest being about 5'8". This would be close to the height difference between Ming and Shaq. Even though I'm slow, fat, old, and white, I dominated. Blocked a bunch of shots, owned the paint, and even threw down a slam or two. Best of all, I was able to get my shot off with ease and make most of them over the outstretched arms of the prepubescents. This leads me to a tentative conclusion in favor of drafting Ming.

    However, even though this is a completely unbiased and scientific experiment, I need some of you to replicate my test conditions before I publish in a peer journal.

    You are what 30? And your playing kids around what 13? Of course you dominated.

    Ming is 300 pounds...that is hardly twiggish, and Shaq is 350 and kills everyone.

    Ming is the thing.

    Thats it, I'm convinced.... Lets get Ming! With the rimrocker experiment in effect there's no way Ming can be a bust.

    Your daughter was a ref huh? She must've sent you to the line too many times... ;)

    How much does Mt. Mutumbo weigh? That guy has deadly elbows but he weighs around as much as Ming does now right (280 lbs)?
