    This article came out a few weeks ago. its too long to post actually, but there are some cool names, including former rockets willis and mutumbo. mark eaton, shawn bradley, and some other former nba big men.

    some interesting things to think about like building a house for a seven footer, but its really not marketable if said seven footer needs to move. willis markets clothes for seven footers, etc.

    Only 5% of American males are in the height range(6-3+) deamed necessary to be a NBA player & the most glamorious are the 6-10 + players. Maybe the NBA should look into some medical research on the health issues of the tall person to prolong their career and realy their lives. Throw that into the new CBA.

    Great article. if 5% are 6'3'' and above I wonder what 6'+ percentile is.
