7-foot-9 center Sun Mingming: While his lack of speed may prevent an NBA career, the 25 year old is hoping to take his game to the next level.

BI, I think I recall that Fraser's character's shortcomings as the basketball player were exposed in that movie. Kind of ironic since I think that in the NBA Sun's physical shortcomings would be exposed.

I won't consider him a real NBA prospect until he fathers at least eight kids out of wedlock.

If Tark the Shark were still King of Vegas, two years of JUCO and he'd be ready for NCAA Div. 1 play.

Reminds me of the old adage "You can't teach height."

I saw Sun MingMing play for the Grand Rapids team (IBL). Slow as hell, uncoordinated as hell, no shot to speak of, but after the first quarter, the other team would just stop driving the lane. Completely. Guy is just friggin' HUGE. I'm 6'0", 225 lbs, and standing next to him, I felt remarkably Lilliputian.

Dude reminds me of when Brandon Frasier played in the movie Bedazzled.
