Have any of these super tall unicorns other than Kareem had a healthy career?
Sampson, Yao, Walton, Ilgauskas, Porzingis: biggest fear about Wemby is that his body just won't be able to handle a sport that requires a lot of pressure on those extended bones and joints.

 

Yeah it's too much tear on their knees and legs.
I think Wemby will be a good one to watch. His body work is unmatched since young age, a lot of stretching, yoga and whatnot. Hope he's able to endure. Him and Chet, they bring a lot of fun to the league

 

the answer is no, and i'll be skeptical until someone does. wemby made it through year one, but with a ton of rest and care. and so did sampson and zinger, and yao (iirc).

 

chet looks like he has marfan syndrome, imo--and my opinion here is sorta useless, just based on having known about the disorder and then seeing chet for the first time and being like..."that's what that is". so i may be wrong, and it probably would have turned up on medicals during the draft process.

whatever it is, those unique builds are great for the ability to play the game but have to be very difficult to sustain when keeping pace with other incredible athletes.

 

Yeah.They already missing Porzingis
18 out of 22 points scored in paint.
And Kyrie just made 1st three point shot in series.

 

If you have to watch the broadcast with Kevin Hart and the three idiots, it’s so terrible.

luckily, I found a broadcast without it

 

Looks like Porzingis is done for the season.

Woj just said on Countdown that Kristaps Porzingis wanted to play, but that the C Bags medical staff chose to hold him out.

Also said that that is real doubt that Porzingis will be able to return at any point in the series.

it's+12
This thing is OVAR
P.S.it is +21
Well back to Minions and JJ Reddick will be Lakers coach next week

 

Back within 9

 

6 point game

 

3 points game

 

Luka is fouled out.

 

Luka blew it. It's done

 

The positive is that this will be the fire that will light the butts of Buss’ and the rest of the team

 

Wow they finally won a title after 14 yrs ! Who’s impressed?

 

Man Luka needs to be better mentally. Can't get so many stupid fouls when your the engine of a team in the Finals

 

Winning a title in the modern NBA is hard. A lot of talented teams and the salary cap makes it hard to keep a team together.

Good for the C Bags for having the balls and the assets to get Jrue and Porzingis. Plus that contract for Brown is looking good all of a sudden. There going to be contention barring injury for the next 5 years just based on Tatum and Browns age

 

They have 2 titles since the 80s . I rest my case
